Cherry Valley Campground
Cherry Valley Campground
Cherry Valley Campground offers 46 campsites (41 single and 5 double family sites) in a mixed conifer forest near Cherry Lake in Stanislaus National Forest, with vault toilets, picnic tables, and bear-proof food storage at each site.
The campground features a boat ramp near Cherry Lake Dam accessible via Cherry Lake Road, and a hiking trail to the lake; however, water availability is severely limited (currently one spigot for entire campground due to drought), so bring potable water.
Access roads are narrow, winding, and steep—not recommended for RVs over 24 feet or trailers—with the Tuolumne route advisable for larger vehicles; sites fill quickly during peak season (late April through mid-October).
