Site 6
I was there over the Memorial Day weekend and the campground was full but absolutely very site around me was quiet and beyond respectful. I know people say the noise from i80 can be a bit much, but my site is as close as can be to the hwy and that early in the year I hear the river as much as the hwy. So it has never bothered me in the past. The bathrooms were well supplied and clean. There wasn't a host when I was there but the forestry crews are always a pleasant sight and friendly people.

Way too close to the freeway. Who thought this was a good location for a camp grounds? I thought other reviews were exaggerating. The grounds are literal 50 yards from the I80 For our entire two day stay my partner and I had to speak at a 8/10 on the volume scale just to hear each other for the entire trip, day and night. Also the train passes every two hours and sounds it's horn each time it passes the camp grounds, even at midnight, 2am and 4am. If you are looking for a camping spot where you feel like you are camping under the I5 in Sacramento this is your spot. It is also right across the street from an OHV area, so in those rare moments where you can't hear the I80 you hear quads and razors. The grounds are well maintained though.

This is a great campground as long as you don't mind the noise from the road / train tracks. It's in a great spot for getting to tons of trailheads, and there are plenty of nice trails to walk right from the campground. There are also several spots for swimming within a 2 minute walk of your campsite!

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
