My friends and I drove 10 hours from the inland empire to camp at this campground. we got lot 6 and it absolutely beautiful. we went in july and the supposed creek was a raging river (due to rain and snow melting), nonetheless the river provided a beautiful experience, white noise to sleep in, and the ability to not hear your fellow campers (not that any one was super loud anyways). we went hiking along the pct by loves falls and wild plum loop trail, both stunning. my only wish would be for them to have showers lol but bathing in the river wasn’t all that bad just freezing cold. even in july the high was about 75 and the low was about 45 so if sleeping in a tent i’d bring an air mattress as the ground is often moist and cold and PLENTY of blankets/sleeping bags. bugs are obviously there but with a citronella candle lit we were fine! if tent camping bring plenty of non perishable food and water the nearest store in sierra city SEVERELY over charges ( i paid about 50 for a couple water bottles sodas and snacks) id only go there for an emergency items. overall it was such an amazing experience and we are thinking about planning our next camping trip there

Very adorable camp right by the river. Bathrooms were fairly clean and there's a town with supplies about 5 minutes away. Plenty of shade as well at our site.

Great spot. Lots of shade. Most spots close to the creek. There is only one pull through spot which is really nice. Lots of nice hikes. Just a really nice chill place. Very quite unless there's alot of kids lol. Highly recommend.

Beautiful campground! Kid friendly water access on site and minutes from beautiful deeper Yuba river swimming holes and tons of waterfalls. Kary, the camphost, was wonderful. She got us oriented to the area, was extremely helpful in finding a site for us when we showed up with no reservations (was planning on one night only but loved the area so much we decided to stay through the weekend), was delightful to chat with, and an all around great host. Very much looking forward to our next trip!

Took a chance with this one, first come first serve, but lucked out (on a Sunday). It lived up to its hype- it's a peaceful campground, nestled among pine, cedar, and Douglas fir, sites have plenty of space, close to neighbors but not too close, walking distance to several bracingly cold swimming holes and a short hike to a gorgeous waterfall. The bathrooms were in great shape we got there (but two days later they were extra stinky). Easy to get to from Hwy 49. Camp host was full of personality- but more importantly she was present and helpful.

the most beautiful and magical camping experience you can ever have is Wild Plum Campground it's set in the redwood forest with a gorgeous river running through it and a beautiful FernGully Wild Plum is the beautiful campsite we all dream about when we think about going camping it's definite must-see!

best time camping in ages! even though our tent was way too small (it's been a while) we had an amazing time. the river was breathtaking, and the sound of the rushing water was awesome even though it made me want to pee. can't wait to go back!
