What Guests Are Saying
Union Flat offers a beautiful location near the Yuba River, with clean bathrooms, tree coverage, and a peaceful atmosphere for camping. However, the campground lacks potable water, has significant noise from nearby Highway 49, and experiences issues with late-night disturbances from other campers. While some sites felt small and crowded, many guests appreciated the scenic surroundings and the soothing sound of the river.

Our space (#7) was a little small but proximity to the river and toilet is great. Nice to have "bear box", table and fire pit included. Would stay here again.

Had the entire fam, and it was a small site, with lot's of highway 49 traffic very close. No water or cell service, the campground up the street was much better and no hwy noise
