The Camp
Two distinct loops give different camping experiences. The hillside section winds upslope through the forest, while the level loop stays flat near the river. Every site comes tent-only with the standard picnic table and fire ring setup. Dense tree cover provides serious shade — expect cool mornings even in late spring and early fall when the campground operates.
The North Yuba River runs alongside the campground, though the source material doesn't specify direct access or swimming spots. Vault toilets and drinking water handle the basics, but this is an unstaffed operation, so come prepared.
What to Know
At $24 per night, Loganville sits in the middle range for Tahoe National Forest camping. Spring and fall seasons only — no summer availability listed, which likely means snow closure or fire restrictions. For general information, call the main office at (530) 265-4531, but don't expect on-site staff.
Sierra City sits just 1.5 miles east with lodging, restaurants, a grocery store, and some boutique shops. Handy for last-minute supplies or a meal out.
Nearby
Gold Lakes Basin opens up boating, fishing, biking, and hiking options. Sardine Lakes, nine miles east, adds swimming and boat rentals through the resort there. Over 30 miles of maintained trails branch out for hiking, mountain biking, and motorcycle singletrack.
Pacific Crest Trail access points sit east of Sierra City and in the Gold Lakes Basin area. The historic towns of Sierra City and Downieville offer cultural attractions beyond the outdoor options. Anglers can work the lakes, streams, and rivers for rainbow and brook trout throughout the basin. The variety keeps most camping groups busy without driving far from base camp.
