About

Horseshoe Bend Campground and Recreation Area in Coulterville, California offers a peaceful, traditional camping experience on the shores of Lake McClure, surrounded by towering pines, fewer crowds, and a relaxed, back-to-nature atmosphere. Known for excellent bass fishing—as well as opportunities to catch salmon, trout, and kokanee—the campground features a single boat launch ramp, fish cleaning station, rental pavilion, and a mix of basic, electric, and full-hookup campsites with an on-site dump station for added convenience. Wildlife sightings are common, ranging from deer and foxes to a wide variety of birds, with the occasional black bear adding to the area’s authentic wilderness feel. Rich in history, the site once served as a camp for John Muir during his studies of the region before journeys into Yosemite National Park, which is located less than an hour away, while the charming town of Coulterville—with great local dining—is just minutes from the campground. Plan your stay at Horseshoe Bend Campground and enjoy a quiet lakeside retreat that blends natural beauty, outdoor recreation, and meaningful history.

    The electricity went out in the whole park. No emergency number any where. No on registration paper work or at main entrance, bathrooms. Had to use generator to keep RV cool in upper 90’s temps.

    The bathroom were awful. We opted to shower outside from a hose. This campsites may not have been the most expensive but I have stayed at places for a similar price and had a much better experience. “Hot showers” is only if you’re willing to risk going into that nasty bathroom.

    Loved the peacefulness of this campground and the views from this elevated section that had full hookups. A reminder, however that there are no amenities. The rest rooms were very rustic and not terribly clean.
