Campground is located in a timbered setting along the banks of the North Fork Mokelumne River, 2.4 miles west of Ebbetts Pass and four miles north of Highland Lakes. 20 campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and grills.
General Notes:
No garbage service or dumpster; Pack it in, Pack it out.
Take Highway 4 to Highland Lakes Road; follow Highland Lakes Road one mile south to the campground. The turnoff from Highway 4 onto Highland Lakes Road is 47 miles from the Calaveras Ranger Station in Hathaway Pines, California.
No reservations, first-come, first-served
Perfect little place away from everything. Less crowded, good temperatures day and night. Nice shade, great rock hopping creek with lots of small waterfalls super close.
Spent couple nights over the weekend here and had a great time. Only about a third full so real quiet. The North Ford Mokelumne River runs along the western edge. Vault toilets were decent enough and there is a well water pump available for use. This campground is about 20 minutes away from the Highland Lakes/ Campground. That campground seemed very packed so this was a great alternative but do visit the lakes.
Crazy winding roads to get there?! But worth it. Beautiful weather and scenery, a place to go to get away from it all
Nice for a typical campground. I prefer camping out of campgrounds. You can't have a fire in dispersed camping right now. The fire danger is rising, so check the forestry alerts daily.
