About

South Fork Campground sits at a low elevation near where the South Fork Tuolumne River meets the Tuolumne Wild and Scenic River, approximately one mile from Lumsden and Lumsden Bridge campgrounds within the Tuolumne-Lumsden Recreation Area of Stanislaus National Forest. The setting offers access to river fishing, day hiking, and non-motorized boating. Each campsite includes a picnic table, bear box, and fire pit with grill. A vault toilet serves the campground. There is no potable water on site; campers can obtain water from the river but must treat it before drinking. The campground does not accept reservations and operates on a first-come, first-served basis when open. Access is via Lumsden Road (Forest Route 1N10), a rough road not recommended for RVs or trailers. The road is seasonally closed December 15 through April 15 and may close during inclement weather. The area was impacted by the Rim Fire, and visitors should use caution around weakened trees and avoid the area during high winds or heavy rain.
