About
Lumsden Campground is situated on a low elevation pine and oak forested site along the Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River within the Tuolumne-Lumsden Recreation Area of Stanislaus National Forest. Located approximately one mile from South Fork Campground and two miles from Lumsden Bridge Campground, this primitive campground offers 10 sites for tent camping and adventurous visitors seeking a more remote experience. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, bear box for food storage, and a campfire pit with grill. A vault toilet is available in the campground. Potable water is not provided; campers must treat or filter water from the Tuolumne River if it is running. The campground sits at approximately 1,500 feet elevation. Access to Lumsden Campground requires traveling 5 miles on steep, narrow Lumsden Road (Forest Route 1N01), which is not recommended for RVs or trailers. The campground is popular for fishing, non-motorized boating, and day hiking along the scenic river corridor. Maximum stay is 14 days, with a limit of 6 people per site.
