In the agency’s own words
Wyandotte Campground is located within 5 miles of the town of La Porte, CA on the Feather River Ranger District. At an elevation of 5100 feet, the campground is nestled in a natural mixed-conifer forest environment. Little Grass Valley reservoir is a 1600 ac., clear mountain lake with plenty of summer and winter recreation opportunities available. Little Grass Valley Reservoir part of a larger network of streams, rivers, and reservoirs that link features of the South Fork Feather River system with Lake Oroville. Scenic vistas, watchable wildlife, and historic mining sites are in immediate or close proximity to the facility. Operations are seasonal due to winter snow, and delayed openings may result from late snow. Keep reading

Every site here is reservable, and the record lists none held back for anyone who drives up.
No availability snapshot inside the last 36 hours, so this page draws nothing rather than ageing a reading into fiction.

What you actually pay
Derived by CAMPANAC: the agency’s published rate for this season, $23 a night, plus one $8 recreation.gov reservation fee for the booking. A weekend here means Friday and Saturday night, booked once. Optional charges (an extra vehicle, a second tent, a dump-station fee) are listed separately and aren’t in this total.
Who keeps the booking fee
The agency’s own policy text says the reservation fee and the cancellation processing fee are “retained by the reservation service contractor”, and that a campground concessionaire will decline to refund them because “they did not receive these fees”. Recreation.gov is run under contract by Booz Allen Hamilton. What share of your booking fee the contractor keeps isn’t published in any federal dataset we can read, so we print no number for it.
