Hampshire Rocks Campground

Wonderful camping spot with a friendly camp host! The only issue we encountered was a bear on the lookout for snacks. Despite the presence of many people around, the bear casually strolled in front of our campsite during the day without any fear or hesitation. Even when people yelled and made noise with pots and pans, the bear simply continued down the road to the next campsite. Otherwise, we loved our spot right next to water.

Absolutely gorgeous campground! I’m definitely camping here next time I come. There’s public restrooms that are open and nice clean trails. The place unfortunately has lots of garbage waste everywhere. It seems there aren’t enough trash cans, and no one to clean up people’s messes because of it.

I liked the campground and but just as others said, there is definitely noise of the freeway so 1 star less. Pros and cons of this campground 1) Not all sites are of same size, few are so small that only 1 tent can fit in and then no space left. Ex site #25. 2) Few sites are quite big and have a nice access to the Yuba river. 3) Restrooms are good, fresheners kept the smell away. 4) All sites pretty much have a bear safe box to keep the food. Overall a nice campground if noise is not a concern.

We stumbled into one of the most beautiful places on earth! Breathtaking views, fishing the streams, sitting by the camp fire, and looking for some bears . The highway is the only downside to this place … Semi primitive, has water to use, public restrooms, (porta potty style toilet inside building ) outside water spickets .

This place is ok. Campsites are small overall but there are a few other campsites that are large. As for the highway sound, yes, it's quite loud the closer you are to the highway (north side). However, it's pretty much white noise. This review isn't based on the noise. No camp host on site when we went. Swimming holes were fairly nice. Quite a few runs that go through camp. There's a little back trail along the creek for people to take to go to swimming pools. Vegetation was very green and I feel there's plenty of shade most of the day. Some camp spots not so much but out of the 4 I reserved, 3 had plenty of shade. Campsites were dirty. Previous lazy folks leave their trash in the bear boxes although there are at least four big dumpsters you can't miss on your way in or out of the campground (it's a loop, one way and one way out).
