Very nice horse camp. Located right off Highway 20 so there is some road noise but you get use to it pretty quickly. It is set up nicely in a large loop with 16 sites, sites 2-6 are group camps (on one side of the loop) but remaining sites are for individual camping. All sites are shaded in the trees.

Most individual sites are very large and can accommodate more than 1 trailer. Four sites (not all) have 2 corrals. On each side of the loop there are two water faucets with potable water and one vault restroom, no showers so bring solar showers. There are several water troughs throughout the campground. Trailer access and parking is very easy.

Park ranger comes by twice a day to check folks in and collect fees if necessary. Some drop-in sites are available if not previously reserved through Reserve America.

Sites 7, 9, 13 & 15 have 2 corrals but you can bring in more if needed. Can also high-tie to trees (please use a tree saver and don't tie ropes directly to trees). Most sites are pretty level some have a slight incline. See below for more information on each individual site.

Trail access is directly from camp to the Pioneer and Hallelujah trails with indirect access to many more. All the trails we rode were in good condition and pretty well marked with trail color and type of access allowed. You can download a map from Gold Country Trails Council at www.goldcountrytrailscouncil.org. I would recommend a GPS for all wilderness riding just in case. NOTE: Off road motorcycles are allowed on some trails so just be aware of it. (Not on Pioneer or Hallelujah trails)

The closest small store/deli for ice, drinks, etc. is 9 miles away near Scotts Flat. There is also a restaurant (5 Mile House) with pizza, etc. at the same location. Gas and larger grocery, etc stores are in Nevada City, approx 15 miles.
