I was at site #46. Excellent site for me because it has a lot of sun throughout the day for my van roof solar panels. The bear box should have been located somewhere else because it gets a lot of sun for hours which melted my ice quickly. Bathrooms, water spigot, trash bins very close by. excellent view of reservoir. Great spot. Also has resident squirrels which are bouncing about.

I have camped here my whole life. I love it! The reservoir was high during our visit in early August, and we felt like we were on beachfront property. Thank you, Lord, for this beautiful location that I still consider my home away from home, and a new adventure every year! Next year we will bring extra TP, just in case it is needed. We are not sure why there were porta-potties during our visit, and hope the regular bathroom facilities are reopened.

Beautiful campground and campsite (45) as well. Nice walking/bike riding trail that runs through 3 campgrounds and beyond. Lake water is clean and refreshing.

Campground in general was good but the bathrooms were filthy and ran out of toilet paper. The road getting into campground has been bad for years but getting worse all the time. Things are disarray in our trailer from the potholes and pits in road. I’d gladly pay more for camping if the road can be improved

There wasn’t a camp host and a huge trailer pulled into the loop drive a head of us and then 3 cars, including us, had to wait 25 mins to drive around to our site. I don’t think the person would have done that off there had been a camp host.

We love little grass valley reservoir! Red feather campground is close to the water when the reservoir is high but becomes quite a bit further during low water years and towards the end of the season. The shore line is very shallow in the red feather area witch makes landing a boat more difficult but not impossible. Fishing can be very good with best results noted from a boat. The camp ground itself is generally clean and well kept but has been slightly under maintained the last few years. I'm sure this is largely due to staffing difficulties. There is a healthy bear population that frequents the parks, so keeping a clean camp and putting up food storage containers is essential. Bear resistant lockers are available in each site. Fire pits and grill grates are available at most sites but fire danger is high. Exercise extreme caution and follow local burn recommendations. Potable water is usually available; however, the wells have been known to run dry during drought times. Use water sparingly so we can all continue to enjoy this beautiful piece of the Plumas national forest!
