The place
the agency’s own description · what’s there
In the agency’s own words
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. A fee of $14/night is required at this site, fee must be paid upon arrival at the campground and before each night of camping.

Nothing to book, just show up
One of 1,623 federal campgrounds where the site still goes to whoever pulls in first, and a night costs $14 with nothing added. Get there before noon on a summer weekend.
recreation.gov publishes no availability for a campground you can’t reserve, so there’s no thirty-night reading to draw here. The season bar above is what the agency does publish.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the lowest per-night amount the agency’s fee record states ($14), and no booking fee, because this campground takes no reservations. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.

Who answers for this land
Cherry Hill Campground is in California’s 1st congressional district. Whoever holds it votes on the laws that decide what happens to this land. See how its representative votes on public lands →
Our roster still carries Doug LaMalfa for this district and the current federal record doesn’t list them as sitting, so we’re not naming a representative here until the two agree.
