Cold Springs Campground
Cold Springs Campground
Cold Springs Campground is a high-elevation tent camping facility (7,500 feet) in Mineral King with 40 sites situated along the East Fork Kaweah River, offering direct access to alpine hiking trails and backcountry exploration.
Basic amenities include vault toilets, potable water, fire rings, and bear-proof food lockers, though the remote location requires a challenging 90-minute drive on a narrow, winding, mostly unpaved mountain road unsuitable for RVs or trailers.
The campground operates seasonally (late May through mid-October) and costs $32/night, with nearby Silver City Resort providing additional services like showers and meals.
