About

Bagby Campground & Recreation Area in Mariposa, California, is the most remote and rustic campground on Lake McClure, offering a truly unplugged escape where the narrowing lake meets the Merced River. Reached by a scenic, winding drive through rugged canyons and with little to no cell service, Bagby is ideal for campers seeking quiet, solitude, and a deep connection to nature. The campground features a single launch ramp (available during adequate lake levels) and a fish cleaning station, making it a favorite destination for anglers—especially those targeting trout—while frequent wildlife sightings reinforce the area’s wild character. Rich in history dating back to the mid-1800s and conveniently located near Coulterville, Mariposa, and about an hour from Yosemite National Park, Bagby offers a rare blend of seclusion, scenery, and heritage—plan your stay today and experience one of the most peaceful corners of Lake McClure for yourself.

    The camp sites are expensive for what you get. The bathrooms were constantly out of toilet paper and wrecked from other guests. The rule of being quite 11pm-7am did not apply.

    Stayed in site 3 this time...much better stay...bathrooms were attended regularly, so I'm hoping they were good. We were in our travel trailer so we did not use. Water was perfect for swimming...not cold at all. Was packed fri through sun, but very quiet Sunday night. Only us and a tent camper.

    It is a very nice campground. It is well taken care of and we had an enjoyable stay. We were the only campers there our first night…it was kind of strange at first but it ended up being very peaceful!
