About

Some sites can accommodate two vehicles. Located near historic Jonesville California, Cherry Hill is a popular spot for beating the valley heat. The campground is situated along Butte Creek amongst the pines with a main drive-in area as well as walk-in sites across the creek. Campers can enjoy fishing or relaxing along Butte Creek, exploring local roads and trails, hunting, and many other activities. Open season: Spring-Fall. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
