Eureka Valley Campground

Eureka Valley Campground offers a quintessential primitive camping experience situated directly along the serene banks of the Stanislaus River. Located 26 miles east of the Summit Ranger Station on Highway 108, this USFS-managed site provides a tranquil escape into the natural beauty of the California wilderness. The setting features a rustic landscape with dirt-surfaced roads and parking pads, perfect for those looking to disconnect and enjoy the outdoors.

The campground features 28 sites, including two double sites and four walk-in options, accommodating a variety of tent camping preferences. Facilities are basic and functional, featuring vault toilets and access to water provided by three wells equipped with hand pumps. A convenient trail located next to the host site offers direct access to the river, making it easy to enjoy the water during your stay.

This location is ideal for tent campers and outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a minimalist approach to the wilderness. Because the campground offers no hookups and relies on primitive facilities, it is best suited for those comfortable with self-sufficient camping. Whether you are looking to hike or simply relax by the river, Eureka Valley provides a quiet, year-round base for your next adventure.
