Main Dam Campground

Main Dam Campground offers a rugged, remote retreat located within the scenic landscapes of California. As a federal site managed by the USFS, it provides a quiet, back-to-basics experience for those looking to escape the bustle of more commercial parks. The natural terrain is suited for visitors who appreciate an authentic, undeveloped outdoor setting.

Because this is a primitive site, there are no hookups or amenities provided. The campground is best suited for experienced tent or car campers who are self-sufficient and prepared to pack in all necessary supplies. Its layout and access points make it an ideal choice for those who prefer dispersed-style camping away from the crowds.

Please be advised that Main Dam Campground is currently closed to the public due to necessary dam remediation restrictions. Before planning any future trips to this location, we recommend checking directly with the USFS for the latest status updates and reopening information. While the site is intended for year-round access, current operational limitations remain in effect.
