Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Trail access and vehicle routes expand your options beyond the river: foot trails drop into the North Fork American Wild and Scenic River canyon, and a network of hiking and OHV trails radiates through the surrounding hills. For longer day routes, the Grouse Ridge Non-Motorized Area and Donner Summit lie a short drive east on Interstate 80.








Length limits vary by campsite.

“Great camping spot in the middle of the woods and by the river. Great escape.”
“Beautiful campground! In the early autumn, on a Sunday night, we shared the entire campground with only three other camping groups. Spring water from a pipe tasted amazing. A lovely, peaceful getaway.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (5,108 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
