Mineral Bar Campground

Mineral Bar Campground offers 15 designated campsites with picnic tables, fire rings, and pit toilets on the east side of the North Fork American River, accessible via a 3-mile paved road from Iowa Hill Road near Colfax.

The campground features direct river access with small beaches at the far end of the camping area, making it ideal for swimming and water recreation, though no drinking water is available on-site.

Dogs are welcome, and reservations are required May 15-September 15 through ReserveCalifornia. com; the campground operates first-come, first-serve during other months with reduced capacity.
