Indian Valley Outpost Resort - Camptonville, California

I have never stayed here, but the location is crucial to have somewhere to get food and drinks so far away from everything else. Also, my friends parents used to own it! So I could just be biased? Nah, it's awesome! ?

WE LOVE THIS SPOT! have been coming here since we were children. rustic, simple, small general store, bar, periodic hot food, good vibes!

(Please note that I did not spend the night at the resort but was staying at a nearby campground so my review is on the actual outpost.)

Went here to get red bull and marshmallows and use the bathroom while I was there. Bathroom was not in the best shape and had bugs, but everything worked and due the the location of the business and the bathrooms being outside it’s mostly unavoidable. Prices were high, but it wasn’t that bad. Great interior too.

Terrible experience, would rate 0/5. Made a reservation in January for a family camping trip towards the end of July. We were coming from out of state, so we thought we could minimize the things we needed to bring by renting a cabin from the Outpost. My dad and mom were going to stay with us so we thought staying at the Outpost would be more comfortable for them, too. We got a call about three hours before check-in and was informed our cabin was unavailable because of a plumbing issue, then told it was still being remodeled, and we could stay at a B&B just up the road from Downieville, which turned out to be half an hour away from where we wanted to be. We got there in the late afternoon to find the place a complete dump. Dirty linens, termites, fridge full of expired food, and we were placed in a hot attic room with little ventilation. My husband got locked out of the house and we were supplied with no keys. Luckily I was still inside. It was miserable, no one slept, the house was hot and had a super creepy vibe. The next morning we packed our things, I drove to Grass Valley and bought tents, air mattresses, and several blankets. I wasted half of one of my vacation days fixing a problem out of my control. I could have easily packed tents and camping supplies if given a days notice. It was so inconsiderate and I will never stay there and recommend you not stay there either. I was so lucky to have family staying at Carlton across the street to help us with what other supplies we didn't have. The Outpost used to be a reliable, fun place to visit and I've seen the Outpost evolve for the past 40 years. The Outpost is only good for ice these days, I'm sad to say. I can not express what a horrible experience we endured. It could have ruined our trip if we'd let it. Be careful if you choose to make a response. It could be disregard and you could get screwed. We did receive a full refund, but we were not refunded for our inconvenience and time lost with family on our vacation.

The hamburger for lunch today was excellent. I would recommend this as a stop for anybody traveling up the canyon. The host was very friendly and accommodating. The host is the only full-time resident here, anybody writing a negative review is off the mark. Great stop for ice, cold drinks or lunch at the grill!

One of the best spots if you like swimming in the Yuba River. Rocky rest campground is where we swim but stay at indian valley for a better camping experience. They have a nice bathroom and store. We rented an RV spot but threw up a couple tents and it was amazing.

We had the cabin rented for three nights of super fun . Saturday night was the best because we had silent disco and partied down. Super fun Friday night movie night outside on a big screen. We had the best most rejuvenating experience. The hot tub cabin is awesome.

Nice management. Great breakfast. Awesome RV spots (if you can get one). Had a great time spending an extended weekend here. Karla & Dave (the owners) have hired an excellent & passionate staff that treat guests very well. Try the biscuits and gravy with eggs and bacon. Top notch!
