Site 9 is at a dead end which is nice because we got site 8 and no one came by. We were able to get our car up onto the camp area. Bear lockers worked great, there’s two. There’s actual trash bins but we packed ours out .
Watch out for spiders! Vault toilets were open but inspect the toilet/toilet seat and toilet paper/roll VERY GOOD. Or use your own. There we’re two spiders on the roll .
But besides that no wildlife other than mostly birds and one little mouse by the toilets. Site 8 was about a minute walk from the toilets.
Definitely going again

Campsite was great. It would be helpful to have a campground map and pics available on the reservation site. I would have picked a different site if I knew it’s location. But overall loved it.

Nice out of the way campground. Next to a beautiful creek in the whiskey town NRA. Close to nearby trails for mountain biking and in an area of historical interest because of the California gold mining history. Only nine total sites three of which are closed. It would be helpful if there were information and pictures about the sites.

Beautiful campsite, though I wouldn’t call it primitive. Nice creek running along behind our site & it was nice and quiet all throughout.

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