South Fork Campground

South Fork Campground is a free, first-come, first-served riverside campsite with 8 sites located at the confluence of the South Fork Tuolumne River and the Tuolumne Wild & Scenic River, offering direct river access for fishing and water activities.

Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and bear-proof food storage locker, with vault toilets available, but requires a challenging 5. 5-mile rough dirt road (not recommended for RVs/trailers over 12 feet) that closes seasonally December 15–April 15.

Note: No potable water or cell service available; the area is within the Rim Fire burn zone with hazards including falling rocks and flash flood risk, particularly during heavy rain.
