The camp ground was good but dry with the stream being low. There were better sites in the upper section we didn't know about but next time we will stay there. Had to drive to find things to do

the campground was wonderful - well maintained, quiet, large shady sites, right on the creek, close to hiking trails and near the lakes region. All around excellent location and experience.

Site 6 was a GREAT site. Definitely would stay again. Bring bug spray. Prepare for a stinky toilet stall on busy weekends. Otherwise, the campsite was clean, near the water and the camp host was kind.

Great River-side location. It should be noted that site #6 is only suitable for a camper or vehicle with a RTT. No room for vehicle and tent,as it was I had to set up my tent in the open path to the River next to the site. Never saw the Host

I rate it as fair because some sites are covered by rocks and you do not feel comfortable at site but some are great sites maybe i did not have luke to reserve the right spot. i wish there was some pictures so people do not ended in bad spot as i did.

We had a very nice camping spot along the creek but, actually, all the sites are pretty nice as they are large and have plenty of trees. My granddaughter came with us and she loved exploring and playing in the creek for hours at a time. The hike to Love's Falls is nice, and there are plenty of hiking trails. We stayed for two nights, which was perfect for us. Highly recommend.

Wild Plum is a great place to enjoy a quiet time with the family in nature. Each stretch of the creek is fun to explore and get in the refreshing water. Please help to keep this place semi-wild, clean, and a relaxing place to visit.

Campsite and latrines were clean and kept clean.
Great launch pad for Sierra Buttes, Lakes Basin and Yuba Pass.
Close to Sierra City for supplies and if you want breakfast, lunch, dinner or a drink.
Wild Plum is a gem of a Sierra campground.
