Mumford Bar Campground

Mumford Bar Campground is a small, primitive 4-site campground at 5,200 feet elevation located 17 miles northeast of Foresthill, offering free camping with vault toilets and hitching posts suitable for equestrian use.

The campground provides access to the Mumford Bar Trailhead, which connects to hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails leading to the North Fork of the American River.

Note that there is no potable water or trash service available, so visitors must pack in all water and pack out all waste.
