Facility has 10 sites available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Tent camping only.
From Junction City, CA, take State Rt. 299 west 6.4 miles to Helen sign. Turn right after sign onto East Fork Rd. and go 3.8 miles to Hobo Gulch Trailhead sign. Bear left at sign onto Forest Service Rt. 34N07Y (dirt) and go 12.2 miles to campground.
Campground is an great. Trails are great too. I really like it here. The road going down the hill is kinda scary, especially when there’s a car going the opposite direction. I have no clue how the pack outfit gets their horse trailer down there. It’s mind boggling!!!
In 1970, 5 of us in our mid-twenties walked up to Cabin Peak (see map) on a trail we were bidding on to clean up. 12 hours on the move, walking fast. So young! Still, the next morning, it was almost impossible for me to move. Not young enough.
