Nice small campground right off of Hwy 50 in Kyburz. Most of the campsites are right next to the river. The bathrooms are relatively clean but the toilets are outhouse style and do not flush. There are no shower facilities so you're really roughing it unless you have an RV. Bring insect repellent as the mosquitoes and other insects are plentiful. The couple that run the campground do a nice job of maintaining it

A campgrounds set amongst the trees along the south fork of the American River. An idyllic setting to relax, hike, swim or fish. The highway noise may bother some but I'm a sound sleeper and the traffic at night is light. Vault toilets, dumpsters, water spigots are dispersed around the sites. There is a dump for RVs and a spigot to refill your water tank. There are sites across the river too. Could be a group area as most are tent only. Huge swimming hole near spaces 10 and 11. Fishing was tough because of the boulder strewn shoreline. There a single and double sites. Most sites have plenty of space to spread out. Good signal for Verizon. Weak signal for T-Mobile.

We happened upon this site one late afternoon looking for a place to camp for the night. On an impulse, when seeing the brown sign for the campground we turned in, drove down the hill hoping our 36 foot Phaeton and tow car would fit. George, the camp host of 12 years and counting and another camper, whom had just arrived greeted us and helped us get into the site. We were hooked. the campground is secluded, down a grade in a flat and sandy place along the American river. We boondocked overnight (there are no hookups but water and dump available) and the next morning signed up for 4 more nights. It is wonderful, quiet, peaceful and we would return in a flick of the key. Don't miss it. You must meet George and his wife and find peace and a quiet place near South Lake Tahoe.
