Garden Point Boat-in Campground

Garden Point Boat-in Campground offers a unique and secluded wilderness experience on the expansive Bullards Bar Reservoir. Because this site is accessible only by boat, it provides a quiet escape from the bustle of typical roadside campgrounds. Guests must launch their watercraft at the Dark Day boat ramp and navigate to the site, ensuring a private atmosphere surrounded by the scenic beauty of the North Yuba River region.

Set at an elevation of 1,978 feet, the campground is nestled along a shoreline that stretches over 60 miles, offering direct access to the water. The terrain is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in nature, with immediate opportunities for fishing, wildlife viewing, and hiking. While the site is managed by the USFS and features a boat ramp and trail access, campers should be prepared for a primitive experience with no hookups available.

This location is best suited for adventurous tent campers and those who enjoy water-based recreation. Whether you are planning a weekend of fishing, mountain biking, or simply enjoying the tranquil forest environment, Garden Point serves as a perfect basecamp for those who don't mind a little extra travel to reach their destination.
