Beautiful camp, extremely well maintained. Our 2 families had a great time and the kids loved climbing the rocks! Walking distance to Columbia state park as well! Highly recommend
Best campground in Gold Country. We always stay here when visit this area of California.
Our stay at Squirrel Rock was absolutely fantastic. Julie was super nice and gave us the perfect balance of attention and privacy. The campground is beautiful and so well maintained plus there are lots of things to see in the Columbia area. We will definitely be coming back and recommend Squirrel Rock to everyone else looking for a quiet getaway in the gold country.
What an amazing spot. Had everything we needed and was extremely clean. Lot's of things to do around town. Highly recommended.
This is 2nd time at this campground, so perhaps it goes without saying that I think it's awesome!! I decided to do a little mini solo camp out and felt safe/secure the whole time on my own. Water, electricity, and wifi all worked great during my stay. The campsite has a gravel base, so if towing a heavier rig, best to use 4-wheel drive. Such a special spot and close to fun things like Columbia historic park and just a short drive to Sonora. I also did some great hiking just a 10 minute drive away.
