Ahart Campground

Ahart Campground is a small, primitive 12-site facility on the Middle Fork American River near French Meadows Reservoir, ideal for anglers and paddlers seeking a remote mountain experience.

The campground requires high-clearance vehicles via Mosquito Ridge Road, offers vault toilets and fire rings but no potable water (bring your own), and operates seasonally from mid-May through late September.

Note: there is no cell service, and the area is bear country with food storage lockers provided at each site.
