About
Bloomfield Campground is a developed Forest Service campground tucked into a timbered canyon along the North Fork Mokelumne River in California's Alpine County. Located just one mile south of Highway 4 via Highland Lakes Road, the campground provides access to quality fishing in the river and serves as a base for exploring the high country around Ebbetts Pass. The campground features 20 single-family campsites with picnic tables, fire rings with grills, vault toilets, and drinking water available from a hand pump. Sites are $25 per night, with a 50% discount for holders of Interagency Senior or Access passes. There is no garbage service, so campers must pack out all trash. Check-in is at 2:00 p.m. and check-out is at noon, with quiet hours from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Highland Lakes Road is a narrow, steep, and winding dirt route with safe travel speeds averaging 20 mph or less. The Forest Service does not recommend trailers for this campground due to road conditions and site configurations.
Directions
Take Highway 4 to Highland Lakes Road, located 47 miles east of the Calaveras Ranger Station in Hathaway Pines. Turn south on Highland Lakes Road and follow it for one mile to the campground. Highland Lakes Road is a narrow, steep, winding dirt road with average safe travel speeds of 20 mph.
