    Went there to use bathroom, and drive threw no one there this time of year. The younger generation…read morehave no respect for the veterans or senior citizens. Showed them my veterans' card and she told me to pound sound. Was able to do this at this location a couple of weeks ago. She said if you want to pay Ten dollars I could go in and use the bathroom. And if i went in without paying she would have the ranger write me a ticket. She was doing all the talking and I was never rude to her. Just shows you the younger generation does not know the freedoms they have were fought for by the veterans. I am also a senior citizen. I am 63 years old. So they wonder why know one goes to the state parks no more. Signing off Proud Veterans of the United States and a big time trump supporter. Bobby Fryar

    Went camping over the weekend at Loafer Creek. Stayed in site 94. They've cleared a lot of the…read moreunderbrush around that site so not nearly as much privacy as in previous years. The a holes in spot 132 decided to party until 4 o'clock in the morning and keep everybody up. Thanks for that. Lots of clean bathrooms, and a central shower area in the first loop provides reasonably priced showers with both hot and cold water. Apparently, there are no evening patrols in this particular campground. No enforcement of the reasonable time to be quiet. When we informed the people at the gate on the way out, they just looked at us blankly. I guess we'll have to contact the district office. Cell phone reception was mixed. People with AT&T did not seem to have good cell phone reception in most places. I have T-Mobile and got two bars in most places. My friend who had Verizon had full service and 5G If you get a chance, go to the waffle shop in town. That's literally the name of the restaurant. See Rachel at the counter for excellent service. Also in the area not to be missed is Jake's burgers.

    A challenging hike around 2 hours from EG/Sacramento. It's nearly 9 miles round trip but has a…read morebeautiful view of Feather Falls from the viewpoint deck. We went in March when the weather was unusually warm this year and the water was f l o w i n g. There isnt much tree cover as there used to be after the fires in this area, so if you're coming on a sunny day, be well prepared with sun protection and water. The majority of the hike is uncovered if you start after the morning hours. Parking lot is decent sized, on the day we came there were hardly any cars at 9am, but we saw more people when we finished around 1pm. There's also vault toilets at the trailhead

    How amazingly gorgeous it is here!!! Full of sweet sweet serenity…read more.. For Easter, my daughter & I decided to go here for our hike!! First, the directions on Google maps suck. You need to keep going down the freeway passed Coal Canyon Road We parked in a large rocky parking lot. At this point, you need to use the bathrooms because there aren't any along your path or trail. I found it hard to stay hydrated because since there aren't bathrooms along the way. I didn't want to drink too much water in case it makes me have to go. We started our hike at 1:15pm. The first part of the hike is a very rocky dirt path. No shade. So wear your sun screen! It was beautiful along the way with beautiful green grass, gorgeous flowers. There were free range cows roaming around. This hike can be very challenging to someone who doesn't work out or get their heart rate up daily. There were a couple large Oaks trees offering us some shade just before you approach the quarry. It's a good resting point but we kept on. For this part, we were climbing down into a quarry, surrounded by trees and bushes, over the rocks, down the path, going back and forth... to come to the first waterfall. It was refreshing and rewarding! Being able to feel the water coming down over you after hiking down from the sun was exhilarating! Now, you have to climb your way up the other side. This is where a big challenge comes in. Up the other side, walking up a very vertical hill, over the rocks... really takes your breath away and makes your legs burn.. we loved every minute of it. When you get to the top, there are no trees up here, just more hills to walk up with rocks below your feet. So wear some good shoes! Getting to the top of that part was another waterfall. It was only visible from far away, but even more gorgeous! The sun was hitting it just right to make a rainbow in the mist. It took us 2 1/2-3 hours to get to that particular part of the hike (we spent quite a bit of time at the previous waterfall). At this point we decided to go back... but you need to go back the way you came. We were pretty out of shape for this hike but we love challenges. So up and back over the hills, back down the steep quarry full of trees, down the rocky path, back to the first waterfall (and we spent time down there again, lol) and then climbing out of that quarry, we decided to stop at those big oak trees to make a sandwich to share. After our long rest, getting some fuel in our bodies, and getting nice and hydrated, we started out way down the rocky path. Again, the rocky path made it very challenging. Our legs were really worked from all the climbing up the hills we did so we've smaller hill after that made us feel the burn! Oh... there nothing like the motivation of seeing that parking lot, lol. It was indeed time to get into the air conditioned car and into a comfy seat in the car. Oooh and finally!!! Bathrooms!!! Lol My daughter & I had a blast on our hike for Easter. There were so many families that day who had the same idea. The weather was perfectly sunny with a slight breeze. It was 6 p.m. by the time we sat in the car and turned on the air conditioning. Great timing since I didn't have to drive in the dark on our way home!

    We definitely underestimated the hike, bring plenty of water and snacks. It took us 4 to 5hrs, but definitely was an experience.

    Had an amazing day until we pulled our vehicles up the road to load all of the supplies we had…read morecarried in for the birthday party we had for a 1 year old. As soon as we got out of the car to load up ice chests and our belongings a sheriff pulled up and started to write tickets out to everyone parked in the loading area. I get that it was not a parking spot, but the car was running and we had already packed everything we just had to load it. He had zero care for the fact all of the kids started crying because he scared them (all kids 1-10 years old) and then ended screaming at the parents saying "you have 5 minutes to leave!" We cut our day short because at the end of it. And it did create an overall HOSTILE environment for The children, and party goers. However, it is a beautiful place to take the family, water is a bit cold but not too bad. Overall I will probably never go here again with my children. Not if human decency is a foreign concept.

    Good, but far too expensive for peddle boats! All other boats there are $25 and under, but the…read morepeddles are $35, and they said they barely rent any. Maybe because they are the most expensive! They're the only boats id ever rent, as the uv rays during the only time of year they are open are absolutely unbearable and vile. Both our butte and lower backs were all screwed up after though, due to not having any padding. The life vests are so thick, you can't peddle with them on, and your upper thighs push into the bottom, shoving the vests into your ears. It is tremendously uncomfortable, and we had to take our vests off and use them as padding instead.

    Setting the stage. We'd planned a camping trip for the upcoming weekend and waited till the last…read moreminute to make a reservation. We had several FCFS options, but I didn't want to have to think and be stressed about fighting over spots. By the time I got around to looking for places to stay, our options we few... then we spotted Riffles RV Park on the River. Let me quote a few of the selling points that caught my eye... "Paddling. Numerous places on the Feather River, we have a boat ramp on the property." "Swimming. We have a boat ramp into the river on our property." "River, stream, or creek. The Feather River is our property line to the West." "Swimming hole. Feather River with our boat ramp." We were blown away to see that they had ZERO other reserved dry camping spots for the nights we were staying. Water access, good prices, nice photos, we reserved the spot and on the road. *We should have read other reviews first.* Our first impression-AMAZING. We received a welcoming text with details from the property owner with the access code and directions to access our campsite. So far, so good! We arrived and followed the instructions that we'd received, advising us to head up the hill, enter the code at the gate to access our camp site. We were chased down by a crazy lady on a motorized cart, aka the property manager, demanding to know what we were doing there and yelling at us for disturbing the area that had been booked for a wedding. The area that we had paid to book was "in-use" for a wedding the next day. She directed us to pick any camping spot in the midst of the RV campers. Instead of the camping spot that we'd paid for... the one that was less than 200 feet from the water, with boat deck & river access... we were told to pick any spot we wanted from a very empty, very weedy RV lot, with very broken picnic tables. We settled on a place that we thought was out of the way and would be the least disruptive to the RVers that were clearly long-term tenants. Well once we settled on a spot, the manager came chasing us down again, demanding to know if our dogs are friendly... further explaining that they have a cat colony living on the property and the spot we had selected was right near where they tend to prowl. We elected to stay in the spot, figuring it wouldn't be that big of a deal... We didn't know that the manager would drive her cart back and forth for 20 minutes at feeding time - trying to LURE THE CATS ACROSS OUR CAMP SITE. Yes.... She was on her cart on the road, driving back and forth and calling to the kitties that it was dinner time, while our dogs were tied up but visibly reacting to both her and the chaos she was creating with the cats. This cat colony was NO JOKE... these cats prowled around our camp for 2 days, super creepy staring at our every move during the dark hours. As far as river access, when we asked... She LAUGHED AT US and announced NO river AT ALL until Sunday (We arrived Friday, to leave early Sunday)...... So much for those selling points, eh? Throughout our stay, the local tenants were friendly, explained that they provide the toilet paper & soap because the manager doesn't. The sprinklers were running 24/7, and the manager manually moved the hosed sprinkler around the property. It was AWFUL to have them running almost directly next to our camp site ALL NIGHT LONG. In the end, we had a bathroom and a shower. NO POTABLE WATER access as promised. We were kind of worried that we would be harassed more if we asked. We had brought our own, so it wasn't a big deal. This property has a LOT of potential. It's beautiful. We saw the river access and it would have been perfect for what we had hoped to use it for. Failure to supply river access on a property that advertises it so heavily, failure to supply potable water, and rely on it's long-term tenants to supply toilet paper & bar soap in the restroom, definitely would not recommend. We camped, we experienced, we left, we reviewed.

Called after hours to confirm availability and they were very…read morepleasant and helpful, and took payment by phone before assigning us a spot that they reserve for travelers passing through like us. It's pricey for one night but we got a nice river view spot even though we didn't stay long enough to really enjoy it. Could still hear some highway noise at night, even in the row closest to the river and farthest from the road. Showers were mostly clean (minus hair in the drain and a few spiders that surprised me when I opened the curtain - one dropped into my hair, another scurried to my towel and a few others just waited for me to step inside) and the water pressure and temp were great!
