Shady Lower Yuba River Campsite 1
Serene location
The campsite has an amazing view of the river, and the sound of the flowing water is very calming. The site is also easy to find and about 30 mins from the state park swimming area.

Shady Lower Yuba River Site 2
We rented both campsites #1 and #2 and enjoyed our stay. The water is beautiful and very, very cold! We were told it comes out of the bottom of the dam so it never warms up. ICE cold. It was still really fun / funny to go in, especially with the Floaties.
One of the sites has a small, shady area for your stove and chairs, and a larger area with some shade for your tents. This site backs up to signs that say "Private Property - Keep Out". The other site has no shade. We did not utilize this space except to park our (AWD) cars. There is a house with a porch and yard overlooking both sites.
Wally who met us was nice and friendly. There were very friendly dogs who would come by and say hi. The portos were very clean and appear to be cleaned once a week (maybe on Thursdays?) It was not far to bring our stuff from our non-AWD cars parked above to the campsite.
Two women came and warned us not to go past the "Private Property" line and also told us to keep our dog on the leash. They walked through the middle of our camp several times and once set two chairs and a music speaker up next to where we were sitting on the river. There is some car noise if that bothers you be aware.

It's a nice little spot on the river, Wally directed us to site 2 since there was no one else there, site 1 has very little shade, 2 is much shadier. The site is pretty close to the Hwy, and the road noise of cars over the bridge all night made it a bit hard to sleep. It was an OK place to basecamp from for a couple of days.

This property was beautiful and right on the river! We saw some of the most stunning sunsets and meteor showers. Wally was very accommodating and came to check on us every so often to make sure we had everything we needed. Would love to return some time in the future :)

Nice site by the river
Nice getaway in the nature and great place to unplug. The site has direct access to the river and there’s lots of privacy, perfect if you want to avoid crowds. Hosts were friendly and welcoming!

Really amazing private spot right on the river. Host was super helpful and accommodating. Only criticism is the listing said there was a communal fire pit and wood available to buy (so we planned our food around that), and when we got there turned out fire restrictions were in effect, so no fires allowed....Would have been nice to know that before we arrived.
