Lost Claim Campground

Groveland, California

About

Lost Claim attracts families and friends with its convenient location, just 15 miles from the northwest Yosemite National Park boundary in northern California. Deemed as an ideal base camp, visitors can explore not only Yosemite, but also the fantastic wilderness areas of the Stanislaus National Forest. Pets are welcome, but must be compliant with Tuolumne County leash laws. The campground sits in a mixed conifer forest with ample shade at each campsite, and nearby is the Tuolumne River, which flows for 150 miles from the central Sierra Nevadas to the San Joaquin River. Visitors can hike the Little Golden Forest Trail, a half-mile interpretive loop with the option for a longer two-mile loop, or take a short drive to the Tuolumne River for wading and fishing. Take a scenic drive through Yosemite and explore its legendary waterfalls, or enjoy world-class fishing on the Tuolumne River or at one of the many nearby lakes and streams.
