Pipi Campground in CA -- Campground & RV Camping in California

PiPi Campground is set at 4,100 feet elevation in a dense cedar and fir forest in Eldorado National Forest. Located along the Middle Fork of the Cosumnes River, the site offers three camp loops for tent and RV camping with paved parking aprons, vault toilets, drinking water, and a riverfront picnic area. A paved, wheelchair-accessible fishing walkway extends nearly a mile along the river, where stocked rainbow trout draw anglers. Interpretive programs run during peak season.
