Nice little spot, 1/2 mile off of 70, on the North Fork of the Feather River, near where it joins the main river. It is not well marked that the campground is at this turnoff so it's easy to drive right past. Once you make the turnoff it's well signed.
$25 seems like quite a high price, but the concessionaire needs to make a profit I guess. $12.50 ain't so bad!
Notes on each visit (posted cost • senior cost):
There are only two sites are on the creek side of the loop. The creek is noisy and cheerful-sounding, but an impenetrable hedge of blackberry brambles limits access to only a few openings.
In the morning site 14 is way better than my 13. My van is baking in the sun but would be perfectly shaded if I was one site over ... where I am writing this now, Check-out time 2pm and I'm using all of it :)
