The love and care that has been put into their guests having a perfect experience is obvious the second you arrive. You are greeted by the friendliest staff and you will find your personalized envelope with everything you need to kick off your stay. We stayed in the Feather Suite and it was spacious with a nice welcome book that tells you about the staff, the local restaurants, sites to see nearby and the number to text if you need anything at all. They do host a happy hour a couple doors down at Boomtown and depending on when you are staying, you may catch trivia night. Coffee and breakfast are pretty much right outside your door. Everywhere we went had #vegan options too. This location is incredible. You can fall asleep to the sound of the river or sit out on the patio to relax. Everything is just a few steps from your door. We walked right across the street to Jadaa's restaurant for lunch one of the days we were here. The town closes up fairly early do you don't need to worry about noise. You will get the best nights sleep here.

There is a nice hike to a nearby historic cemetery on Old Cromberg rd. driving to Quincy there is a brewery and many cafes. Best hiking is back by Graeagle, where you can get ice cream and burgers under a shade canopy. The general store there is very well stocked. We had a lovely 4 night stay, and highly recommend this park.

The bathroom and showers are really nice. A short downhill hike takes you to a beautiful swimming hole along the Yuba River. Two adorable tent spots overlook the river. In late June, the temps were warm but comfortable during the day, and cooler in the evening and morning. The spaces are pretty close together, which was perfectly fine with our courteous neighbors. Your driving and reversing skills need to be strong, there is not a lot of room for error with some of the tighter spaces. They have a nice area as the designated dog potty place, dogs are expected to stay on leash and behave appropriately. We didn't have any problems and there isn't a big list of overly strict rules, but we did feel that the camp hosts would be helpful and put a quick stop to any misbehavior in the park. Across the road from the park is the Sierra Country Store where you'll find basic grocery items and an amazing deli counter with sandwiches, burgers, and milkshakes. We heard great things about the nearby Red Moose Cafe from our hosts and several neighbors, but we didn't make it in this trip. We'll definitely stay again and look forward to exploring more!

EDIT TO ADD: Steve is not the owner. We were misinformed by him…read more One of the most unprofessional and upsetting experiences we've had during our wedding planning process. This venue had been my number one choice since the first time I heard about it. After getting engaged, I submitted an inquiry but was too excited to wait, so about a week later I called for more information. I spoke directly with the owner, Steve Hines. We discussed pricing and decided to schedule a tour. Since we live over two hours away, I explained that we were hoping for a weekend appointment. Steve told me he would email me, and we scheduled a tour for August 9, 2026 at 2pm. We confirmed the appointment and drove over two hours to see the venue. We arrived a few minutes early and went inside, but all the lights were off and no one was there. I called out for Steve several times with no response. Just before our scheduled 2pm tour, I called him and left a voicemail asking where we should meet. A few minutes after 2, I called again to see if he was simply running late. I called both phone numbers that were provided, only to find that the office number forwarded directly to his cell phone. At that point, I became genuinely concerned that something might have happened to him. We walked around the property looking for anyone, went back inside calling his name, and even drove over to the rental properties he also owns after seeing a work crew nearby. We truly thought there might have been an emergency. Instead, we spent over an hour waiting, calling multiple times, and sending a text message. That text was read, yet we never received a reply, an apology, or any explanation for why no one showed up. As of August 16, 2026, we still have not received a single response. To make matters worse, the venue was unlocked with no staff present, and there was trash left on the bar along with cups sitting outside. This venue was the one I was most excited to see, so it's incredibly disappointing that the decision to book there was taken away by a complete lack of communication. I understand that emergencies and unexpected situations happen. What I cannot understand is choosing not to communicate with people who have invested hours of their day, traveled a significant distance, and arranged their schedules for an appointment that you agreed to. We spent over four hours driving, plus more than an hour waiting at the venue, only to be completely ignored. A 30-second text saying the appointment needed to be canceled or rescheduled would have shown basic courtesy and respect for our time. If this is the level of communication provided before a contract is even signed, it did not give us confidence that our wedding day would be handled any differently. We chose to take our business elsewhere, and I sincerely hope no other couple has to experience the same level of disregard for their time.

Lots of hiking and biking trails close by as well. We just came back from our 5th family reunion at the hotel and have already booked our dates for the 6th. We are a family that loves to cook and we couldn't ask for a better kitchen set up. We have literally scoured every vacation rental site available and have never found a property like this one, where the entire hotel is yours for your stay. It's a special place and if you have a large group to accommodate, we highly recommend this one! It is about an hour from the nearest grocery store so you'll want to think through your meal plans/shopping lists ahead of time.

So far we have spent a week at Camp Lehman two years in a row. The first year we had three of the cabins and brought our children and grandchildren.

The owner and camp staff are all lovely and welcoming. The camp is kept very clean. The cabins have everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We hope to return for more years in the future.
