Yuba Pass Campground

Great birding spot - golden crowned kinglets, mountain chickadees, evening grosbeaks

This camopround was beautiful with amazing old growth red fir tress and campsites nesteled amongst the groves. Some began to fall, not sure if they were diseased or just too old. Sadly the forest sevice came through and clear cut all the largest trees. The campground is going to have to be rebuilt. Probably another two years before it opens again.

Was a beautiful camp site. But in 2023 they clear cut it, now it is ruined. Almost no trees left. Shame on the forest service for doing this!

Second year of snow camping. Verified with ranger that the campground is officially open during the winter, which is not exactly clear from websites. Bring your own water since campground turns off water during winter. Recommend wrapping your water in a blanket so it does not freeze as fast ... after 3 days we had our 5 gallon container frozen one year. Sometimes campground restrooms are closed, but not to worry the Snow Park area keeps theirs open and is a short walk away. Some people think camping in the snow is crazy, but really all you need is your snow play clothes, some extra blankets to use with your sleeping bags and an air or foam mattress to provide insulation from the ground. Benefits of snow camping is you never run out of ice, no mosquitoes and more privacy than summer

This is a nice place to enjoy the snow
