Lost Claim Campground

Lost Claim Campground offers 10 tent-friendly sites at 3,100 feet elevation in Stanislaus National Forest, just 12 miles east of Groveland on Highway 120 and 15 miles from Yosemite's northwest boundary.

Each site includes a picnic table, bear-proof food storage box, and campfire ring, with vault toilets and potable water available; the nearby Tuolumne River provides fishing and wading opportunities, and the Little Golden Forest Trail offers a half-mile interpretive loop.

Note that the campground is located in a Rim Fire burn area with potential hazards from weakened trees, operates seasonally (typically May-September), and is not recommended for trailers or RVs.
