Hermit Valley Campground is a primitive, fee-free dispersed camping area at 7,100 feet elevation along Highway 4, offering direct access to the North Fork Mokelumne River for fishing.

The campground features 25 sites with scattered timber, vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, but no potable water—making it suitable for self-sufficient campers.

Note that Highway 4 is very steep, narrow, and winding with winter closures; vehicles over 25 feet are not advisable, and the nearby Grouse Flat area offers a more secluded alternative with 3 riverside sites.
