What campers say

Indian Valley Campground is a small, well‑maintained site beside the North Yuba River with friendly, helpful hosts and a quiet, family‑oriented feel. Campsites vary in size and shade—some stay cool under trees while others get hot in summer—and many offer close river access for swimming, floating and fishing, though direct access can vary by site. Amenities are basic: pit toilets, no showers, plus fire rings and bear boxes. The campground sits a short distance off Hwy 49 so road noise is minimal, and nearby trails provide hiking and mountain‑biking options.
