About
Lovers Leap Campground is a walk-in tent campground nestled at the base of the iconic Lovers Leap, a massive granitic cliff rising nearly 600 feet and renowned throughout the climbing community. The 21 single-family tent sites are arranged in a forested setting near the South Fork of the American River at 5,800 feet elevation. The campground provides basic amenities including potable water from a faucet near the restrooms, vault toilets, garbage service, and an on-site campground host. Some sites have fire rings and grills. All sites are walk-in only, requiring a short hike from the parking area with your gear. Maximum stay is 14 days per district per year. Check-in is at 2:00 p.m. and check-out at 1:00 p.m. The area is known for exceptional rock climbing, wildflowers, and birding opportunities. Bears are active in the area, so proper food storage using bear boxes and bearproof garbage bins is required. Interagency Senior and Access passes are accepted for single-family sites.
