Wakalu Hep Yo (Wild River) Campground has 49 campsites in a mature conifer and oak forest located next to the North Fork Stanislaus River. All campsites are first-come, first-serve at this beautiful campground.

Most campsites can accommodate tents, trailers and RVs. Campsites 7 to 24, 28, 29, 33, 34, 41 and 42 are walk-to sites (tent only) and most are very nice (close to river). Parking is available for these at either Village #1, Village #2 or Village #3 parking areas. Each of the walk-to (tent only) sites have parking spaces for 2 vehicles. All camp roads and parking spurs are paved.

Campground amenities include drinking water, vault/flush toilets, showers and trash collection. There’s also a picnic / day use area, river shore trails and a whitewater boat launch. Cell service is poor in the area. Each campsite also has a parking spur (up to 50 feet), table, food storage locker (bear box), fire ring and grill. Firewood is available to purchase from the camp host (site #1).

Calaveras Big Trees State Park is nearby (8 miles) and Black Springs OHV Campground is also in the area (14 miles).
