Over-the-counter foggers coat the tops of furniture, but bed bugs spend the day packed into mattress tufts, joints in the bed frame and cracks in the trim where the mist never lands. Plenty of local populations shrug off the active ingredients in retail cans, so the survivors keep laying eggs.

Miners found gold here in 1850 and called the spot Gold Ridge. When the post office opened in 1854, the town took the name Camptonville in honor of Robert Campton, the local blacksmith. Through the 1850s and 1860s it was a stop on the Henness Pass Road, a freight and stage route over the Sierra, and the inventor of the Pelton water wheel lived here in the 1860s. A monument to him still stands in town.
Camptonville sits at about 2,825 feet on a ridge between the North Fork and Middle Fork of the Yuba River, some 36 miles northeast of Marysville. The 2020 Census counted 158 residents, 72 homes and 53 households in the CDP. The town keeps a post office, an elementary school, the historic Mayo Saloon and the Yuba River Ranger District office of the Tahoe National Forest on Highway 49.
ZIP 95922 reaches well beyond the CDP, with roughly 670 residents and 380 homes. Most of those houses went up in the 1980s or the 1960s, the median age is about 51, and about 1 home in 5 stands vacant, mostly places kept for seasonal or weekend use. Bed bugs travel in bags, bedding and secondhand furniture, and a cabin that sits closed for months lets a few hitchhikers hide until someone sleeps there again.
Houseboats, Campsites and Weekend Cabins Near New Bullards Bar
New Bullards Bar Reservoir lies just below Camptonville in the Tahoe National Forest. Yuba Water Agency and the Forest Service run its recreation sites, including Dark Day, Schoolhouse and Hornswoggle campgrounds, the boat-in camps at Madrone Cove and Garden Point, and Emerald Cove Marina, which rents houseboats and small boats. Summer brings a steady stream of campers and boaters, and many seasonal homes in 95922 fill up on weekends.
Gear moves from a houseboat or tent to a cabin and then home. A few habits help:
- Unpack gear outside or in a garage, not on the bed, after a trip on the lake.
- Run sleeping bags and pillows through a hot dryer for 30 minutes before storing them.
- When opening a seasonal cabin, check the mattress seams and bed frame with a flashlight first.
Rentals Make Up Half of Camptonville Homes
Census figures show that 26 of the 53 occupied homes inside the CDP are rented, close to half, which is a high share for a small mountain town. Across the wider ZIP the share falls to roughly 1 in 4. Tenants should report signs early.
- Tell the landlord in writing, with the date and the rooms where you saw evidence.
- Keep photos of bugs, spotting or bites along with the date taken.
- Ask for the inspection results, which the owner must share within 2 business days.

Camptonville Renters Are Covered by State Law
California Civil Code 1954.600 to 1954.605, passed as AB 551, sets bed bug rules for landlords and tenants across the state. A rented house or cabin in unincorporated Yuba County falls under it the same way a city apartment does.
- Landlords must give tenants a written bed bug notice.
- A landlord cannot show, rent or lease a unit they know has bed bugs.
- After a licensed pest control operator inspects, the landlord must share the findings with affected tenants within 2 business days.
- Tenants who report bed bugs are protected from retaliation.
With roughly half of the occupied homes in the CDP rented, these rules matter to many households here. If you spot signs, put a dated written notice in your landlord's hands and hold on to a copy.
What Bed Bug Treatment Costs
No 2 jobs are priced the same. For a ballpark, Angi's 2026 US averages list $65 to $200 for a visual inspection, $300 to $600 for a dog search and $200 to $400 for each room treated. Whole-home treatment usually lands between $1,500 and $6,200. A drive into the mountains may add a trip fee, so line up written quotes side by side.
Camptonville Bed Bug Questions
Is Camptonville a city with its own council?
No. Camptonville is an unincorporated community in northeastern Yuba County, counted by the Census Bureau as a CDP since 2010. The 2020 count was 158 people. Yuba County supervisors in Marysville are the local government, and we accept requests from anywhere in ZIP 95922.
Where does your team come from to reach Camptonville?
There is no pest control office in town. Our technicians drive north from Grass Valley and Nevada City, or up from the Marysville and Yuba City area, which sits about 36 miles away. Ask up front whether a mileage or trip charge is part of the price.
Half the homes in town are rented. What does a Camptonville tenant do first?
Write a short, dated note to the landlord or manager describing what you found, and keep a copy or a photo of it. AB 551 applies in unincorporated Yuba County, so the owner must act on a licensed inspection and share the results with you.
How much does bed bug work cost in 95922?
Angi's 2026 national averages show about $200 to $400 for each room treated and roughly $1,500 to $6,200 when a whole house needs work. Square footage, clutter, the method and the long drive into the mountains all move the final number, so rely on the written estimate.
Our cabin near Bullards Bar sits empty all winter. Will the cold clear out any bugs?
Do not count on it. At about 2,825 feet, Camptonville winters are cool but rarely hold the deep, steady freeze that the EPA says is needed, roughly 0°F for 4 days. Bugs can wait out the season and feed again when you open the place in spring.
