Camp Tuolumne Trails
A fully accessible camp located near Groveland, California for non-profit groups.
(See location on map of California)
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 1,200 feet 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.
Homemade meals are available for all groups, served in the dining hall by our friendly staff. The Lodge is a three story log building. The bottom floor has a large program multi-purpose room. The second floor serves as a large dining hall with a fireplace.
A wrap-around deck provides an outside dining option and/or meeting break-out space with views of the main camp area. All three floors are served by an elevator.
A unique highlight of the camp is an archeological site that has tools and flakes left by Native Americans for many centuries dating back 7,000 years. The excavated pieces will be showcased in the main lodge and the archeology site will be ringed with a fence and self guided interpretive displays.Other Information
