Camp Tuolumne Trails is located on 80 acres of rolling foothills on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada and shares borders on three sides with National Forest Service lands. Just off Highway 120 near Groveland, California, the camp is twenty six miles from the entrance of Yosemite National Park which offers additional site-seeing, biking, and hiking opportunities. The camp is on the edge of the Tuolumne River canyon, approximately 1200’ above the Tuolumne River.

 

A feature of Camp Tuolumne Trails is its accessibility for various physical abilities. Much of the camp is wheelchair accessible. Most paths are graded for safe wheelchair access with raised decking between the cabins, encouraging independent and safe use by every guest.

Lodging Tuolumne Trails has six cabins; each sleeps seven people and includes a half bathroom. For larger groups, each cabin can be configured for twelve campers in bunk beds. The cabins are situated in two groups of three with decks connecting each group together. Each set of three cabins shares a fully accessible bath house. Two additional sleeping areas are on the third floor of the main Lodge.
