Tent campers after solitude and creek fishing on a tight budget. The six walk-in sites across the footbridge are flat, well-kept, and quieter than the drive-in loop. Bring cash, a wide-mouth container for the hand pump, and all your own water since the pump is currently out of se
No cell signal at camp (you'd drive 6 miles for it), vault toilets get mixed reviews on maintenance, there's no host on-site to resolve issues, and first-come-first-served means no guarantee on a summer weekend. RVs have no hookups and uneven aprons to contend with.

<p>Developed campground with 26 designated sites. Each campsite has a picnic table, metal fire ring, and parking for at least one vehicle. Some sites can accommodate two vehicles. Located near historic Jonesville California, Cherry Hill is a popular spot for beating the valley heat. The campground is situated along Butte Creek amongst the pines with a main drive-in area as well as walk-in sites across the creek. Campers can enjoy fishing or relaxing along Butte Creek, exploring local roads and trails, hunting, and many other activities. </p>
The elevation is 4,700 ft. The campground is a single loop next to Butte Creek with campsites tucked in among a variety of mature conifers including Douglas fir, cedar, and Ponderosa pine. There are six walk-in tent sites accessed via bridge across the creek. The dirt parking aprons tend to be unlevel making balancing an RV a challenge. This campground is probabably best suited for slide-ins, pop-up tent campers and tent campers. Privacy between campsites is fair and the creek can be heard throughout campground.
Open last weekend in April through second hunting season
The parking aprons are dirt. See General Comments, above.

Summer is the reliable season here. Mid-May through September, daytime temperatures reach the mid-60s to mid-80s°F, while nights cool to the 30s–50s°F thanks to the creek's influence. Pack layers. Holiday weekends see more visitors, but the 26-site limit keeps the experience relatively quiet. Winter transforms the landscape with heavy snow and requires proper cold-weather gear. Some reviewers warn about windy nights year-round.
Peak open season (mid‑May–Sept); reviewers praise cooling creek and pleasant summer temps.
