The campground, one of eight in the Little Grass Reservoir
Recreation Area, is a large loop meandering around a hillside
through a thick stand of mixed conifers, including firs, pines,
and cedars, on the east bank of the Little Grass Valley
Reservoir. Several camp sites have a view of reservoir but most
are tucked in among trees. There is no understory and some sites
are close together limiting privacy from poor to fair.
This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

The third section is an area of tent sites at the parking lot
and boat ramp. The campground is popular with boat enthusiasts
and also attracts dirt bikes. This is a noisy campground.
