The private property is located on a small hilltop accessible by a dirt road whose condition varies from year to year. Space is generally somewhat limited, and most setups are on a gentle slope.
Site is on private property. First timers should arrange to meet someone and caravan in, to avoid getting lost and disturbing neighbors.
First timers generally meet at the Pokerville Market in Plymouth. From Sacramento, take the Jackson Highway (highway 16) east. Take highway 49 north to Plymouth. Enter Plymouth about 2 miles after the junction of 49 and 16. About .5 mile after the welcome sign, the Pokerville Market is on your right (east side of the highway) going north.
