Turkey Hill Equestrian/Group Campground

The new Turkey Hill Equestrian/Group Campground serves both equestrians and organized youth groups. The camp is available by reservation to equestrians first and youth groups when not reserved by equestrians.

The camp is nestled in 16 acres of mature oak trees adjacent to the Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail (MCCT) Staging Area at Camanche South Shore. It has seven sites: two single family sites that accommodate a maximum of eight persons with two vehicles, two trailers and four horses; two double sites; two triple sites that accommodate double and triple the single site capacity; and one quad site that accommodates a maximum of 32 persons and 8 vehicles with trailers and 8 horses.

All sites have picnic tables, a fire ring/barbecue grill, a paddock for each horse, lantern stands, and close access to water. One of the single sites has accessible facilities including a transfer platform to assist in getting on and off horses. 

The sites surround a group eating area with large barbecues, serving tables and picnic tables to seat 40 people, plus a group campfire ring with benches to act as an amphitheater and assembly area. These areas are wheelchair-accessible, and includes a regulation horseshoe pit. Other features of the campground include a horse wash station, bins for horse waste, portable toilets and easy access to the Mokelumne Coast to Crest Trail (MCCT). Showers, coin-operated laundry, an RV dump station and a general store are available elsewhere in the park. 

Equestrian and youth groups will not use the camp at the same time.  Reservations can be made by calling the South Shore Park Office of the Camanche Recreation Company at (209) 763-5178, weekdays from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
