Amazing campsite along the Yuba

Tent · With pets ·

Entire Property

We loved staying at Camp Wildlands Yuba! Its a peaceful and quiet site overlooking the river. Its a short walk down to the river which was great. No beach when we were there but we loved the lounge chairs just above the water where we spent afternoons reading and napping. The camp kitchen shade area set up is great! very clean bathrooms and meals were easy with the BBQ grill. Very close to the epic swimming hole at South Yuba state park which was a highlight for the kids. We loved this site and would stay again. Thanks Kirby and Jennifer!
