I wish we could stay longer but that day 2-12-17 The river was runing very fast due to an emergency spillways from Oroville Dam so we had to leave the area due to the evacuations ordered but after everything is ok. We will come back!!!

Although I love my big trees at Condon Park in Grass Valley I still thought this was a really nice park! We used the bbq and enjoyed the nice scenery (went early before it got hot). There is access to the river with a boat ramp. Tons of picnic areas! The grass is still green and well maintained ! I saw a few people trying to catch fish. Plenty of shady areas to enjoy your lunch! There is also play areas for the kiddos! Bathrooms were fairly clean. This place was well thought out with roundabouts and well marked exits. Walking paths ate pretty flat and they have ample amount of parking..including handicapped parking. I would definitely visit this place again. I would recommend going morning or afternoon to be on the safe side! Ps. They have LIVE music on Thursday nights when we get closer to summer!

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.

My dog loves this place. The people are friendly. He gets so excited to see his friends there.read more

I tried to take my dogs to Dog Park today for some needed exercise since I'm visiting here in…read moreOroville I googled the park it seemed to be the only Dog Park in town. I followed the GPS directions and no go!!!! I was on HWY 70 for less than half mile when I needed to use the exit ramp and turn off into the park well shot there's no place to turn I could see the park next to river but no access road so I continues to try and go around the corner which put me in a sketchy neighborhood I backtracked my tracks and still could not get there. Due to traffic I just continued on but I did get a good look at the park and did look very very dry I don't know but you think the City would keep it clean and green... Sorry I have no pics.. I didn't get close enough to see if there are still homeless people.

I love the Afterbay! The water is warmer then all our other bodies of water and free to get in!…read moreAlso if you have a boat, even better, they have three different boat launch accesses. We prefer the left side of Oro Dam vs the Right because the body of water is larger. When the water is lower you can actually cross back and forth under the road. Bring shade, there is none!

Its a unpaved dirt road that can get hairy with some areas that if they were muddy unless you have a 4x4 you wont be able to get through However my little 2002 pt cruiser made it ok.

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.
