Camping at Gates Group near Foresthill

Public campground · Foresthill · 3 campsites · 3 group

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking.

About this campground

The river and nearby reservoir are the focal points for recreation: the North Fork American River provides fishing and swimming, and two public boat ramps are located within three miles for boating, canoeing and launching to the reservoir. Trails in the surrounding forest give hikers and mountain bikers access to longer routes and backcountry terrain, with the Granite Chief Wilderness and its aspen stands and high passes reachable for those prepared for more remote hiking.

“outdated information on the phone number listed to call on the campsite information and confirmation email left us unprepared for new fire restrictions and left us unable to cook food, all in all wasted trip”

Dustin B 1 · Sep 2025 · Recreation.gov

“Clean, well maintained, quiet, could be better access to water. Our family had a great time”

Gary R 5 · Jul 2025 · Recreation.gov
