| Campground |
The camp is nestled in 16 acres of mature oak trees adjacent to the Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail (MCCT) Staging Area at Lake Camanche South Shore. The difficulty rating of the trails themselves can be classified as ranging from Easy to More Difficult. The camp has seven sites: two single family sites that accommodate a maximum of eight persons with two vehicles, two trailers and four horses; two double sites; two triple sites that accommodate double and triple the single site capacity; and one quad site that accommodates a maximum of 32 persons and 8 vehicles with trailers and 8 horses. All sites have picnic tables, a fire ring/barbecue grill, a paddock for each horse, lantern stands, and close access to water. One of the single sites has accessible facilities including a transfer platform to assist in getting on and off horses.
The sites surround a group eating area with large barbecues, serving tables and picnic tables to seat 40 people, plus a group campfire ring with benches to act as an amphitheater and assembly area. These areas are also wheelchair-accessible. This group use area also includes a regulation horseshoe pit. Other features of the campground include a horse wash station, bins for horse waste, portable toilets and easy access to the MCCT. Showers, coin-operated laundry, an RV dump station and a general store are available elsewhere in the park. |
