Camping at Cherry Valley near Groveland

Public campground · Groveland · 45 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

5 miles northeast of Cherry Valley Dam and provides direct access to Cherry Lake, the largest lake in the Stanislaus National Forest. Anglers come here for eastern brook trout, German brown trout, kokanee salmon and rainbow trout; a hiking trail drops down to the lake and there's a boat ramp near the dam off Cherry Lake Road for small boats and towing launches.

How far ahead to book Cherry Valley

For July weekends, book about 128 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 72 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (10,503 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
