Lat / Long:
Yuba Pass campground has 20 campsites and is located very close to Sardine Lake just off Highway 49 in the North Yuba River Area. It is generally open early May to mid October (weather permitting). Reservations are taken from mid-June through mid-September. Only a handful of sites would accommodate very large rigs. Old growth red fir trees also provide nice shade to most campsites.
The campground has vault toilets, but no potable water. Each campsite also has a table, fire ring and grate.

I believe this campground has no potable water at this time.

You are correct – Yuba Pass does not have any potable water at this time. We made the correction to our campground information. Thank you!
