Dry Gulch Access

Dry Gulch Access provides walk-in tent camping on the north side of the Merced River with most sites offering direct river access or proximity to the water.

The campground features paved road access, picnic tables, grills, fire rings, and vault toilets, though no drinking water is available—making it ideal for paddlers and anglers seeking a remote, peaceful riverside experience near Yosemite.

Note: The site is currently closed by forest order; contact Bass Lake Ranger District at (559) 877-2218 for current conditions before visiting.
