About
Lumsden Bridge Campground occupies a scenic low-elevation setting on the Tuolumne Wild & Scenic River within Stanislaus National Forest. The campground sits in a pine and oak forest approximately one mile from South Fork Campground and two miles from Lumsden Campground, forming part of the Tuolumne-Lumsden Recreation Area known for whitewater rafting and kayaking. Each campsite includes a picnic table and campfire pit with grill. A vault toilet serves the campground, but there is no potable water; untreated river water is available when flowing and must be filtered or treated before drinking. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations available. Access via Lumsden Road involves a steep, narrow, and winding route that is not suitable for RVs or trailers. The road is seasonally closed December 15 through April 15 and may close during inclement weather. The campground lies within the Rim Fire burned area, where hazards include falling rocks, flash floods, debris flows, and weakened trees that may fall without warning.
