Pipi Campground

What sets Pipi Campground apart is the tranquil melody of the Cosumnes River, flowing alongside 52 campsites shaded by towering conifers in the scenic Eldorado National Forest. A serene escape at 4,100 feet elevation, this campground offers a blend of natural beauty, easy river access, and outdoor recreation opportunities, making it a haven for both families and adventurers.

The Middle Fork of the Cosumnes River is the heartbeat of Pipi Campground, featuring excellent fishing, swimming, and a wheelchair-accessible paved walkway that meanders under a mile along the river. The campground’s well-equipped sites include picnic tables, fire rings, and access to vault toilets and drinking water, ensuring convenience without disrupting its rustic charm. Nearby, the Gold Note Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trails offer thrill-seekers a taste of adventure, while quieter moments can be spent observing the dense cedar and fir surroundings or engaging in interpretive programs during peak season.

Located approximately 20 minutes from Grizzly Flats and 30 minutes from Jackson, Pipi Campground serves as a gateway to nearby attractions like the Mokelumne Wilderness and Cosumnes River Gorge. Its proximity to nature and recreational activities, such as hiking, fishing, and exploring local wilderness, makes it a versatile destination for weekend getaways or multi-day retreats.
