Yuba Pass


April 24, 2024

Yuba Pass Campground is nestled in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California at an elevation of 6,700 feet. The campground offers breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, including the Sierra Buttes, and the nearby Yuba River. The area is known for its abundant wildlife, including black bears, and is ideal for hiking, fishing, and mountain biking.

The campground has 24 first-come-first-serve campsites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. There are also vault toilets and potable water available for campers.

Nearby points of interest include the Lakes Basin Recreation Area, which offers numerous lakes and trails for fishing and hiking. The historic town of Downieville, with its Gold Rush history, is also a short drive away.

An interesting fact about the area is that it was once home to the Nisenan tribe, who hunted and fished in the surrounding mountains for thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers.

The best time of year to visit Yuba Pass Campground is during the summer months, with average temperatures ranging from 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and dropping to 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit at night. However, the area is also beautiful in the fall with the changing leaves of the aspen trees.
