About
White Azalea Campground is a remote, primitive tent campground nestled along the North Fork Mokelumne River in the Amador Ranger District of Eldorado National Forest. With just 6 sites at 3,500 feet elevation, this small campground offers a quiet setting for campers seeking solitude and access to the surrounding wilderness. The campground provides basic amenities including portable toilets, picnic tables, and garbage service. There is no potable water on site; river water is available but must be boiled before use. Campfires are permitted with restrictions during fire season. The maximum stay is 14 days per district per year. Nearby recreation includes fishing and swimming in the river, car-top boat launching at Salt Springs Reservoir approximately 5 miles away, and hiking in the Mokelumne Wilderness which requires a permit for overnight use. The campground is accessed via a winding forest road and is suitable for tents only.
