South Fork Group Campground, also known as South Fork Gcg, is a Forest Service campground in the Pacific Ranger District of Eldorado National Forest in California. It sits within the Eldorado National Forest, and the Forest Service manages the land. The site has vault toilets, and a fee is charged for use. The closest neighbors are the South Fork Group - Eldorado NF (CA) campground and the South Fork Group - Eldorado NF river fishing area, both about 0.1 mile away. Robbs Hut is about 1.7 miles off, and the South Fork Trail is about 1.2 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from the nearby Tahoma weather station show July highs around 77°F with lows near 46°F, while winter highs stay in the upper 30s. That station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at the site run cooler. Paddlers can reach the South Fork Rubicon River about 2.4 miles away, and climbers will find Loon Lake about 5.8 miles off.
