About This Campsite

Welcome to Proctor Campground

Proctor Campground offers a serene, dispersed camping experience set against a backdrop of natural beauty and wildlife. Located at an elevation of 4,418 feet, this site provides excellent access to outdoor activities such as hiking on the Madera Canyon Trail and the nearby Elephant Head Trail. With 13 designated campsites spread over a 1.5-mile dirt road, this location performs admirably for both solo adventurers and group campers.

Key Features and Tips

  • Accessibility: The road leading into the campground is doable by most vehicles, including larger vehicles like converted buses. However, some sites, particularly sites 12 and 13, require high-clearance vehicles due to overhanging branches and rough terrain.
  • Wildlife Interactions: Expect regular visits from wildlife, including deer and perhaps even free-range cattle. It’s an excellent spot for nature enthusiasts.
  • Campsite Etiquette: Visitors usually maintain cleanliness, ensuring a tranquil experience free of litter.
  • Amenities: The campsites offer campfire rings but no additional services. Be prepared to pack in and pack out.
  • Communication: Verizon users report good cell service, sufficient for streaming if needed. Stargazers will appreciate the night sky views, though these can be affected by distant wildfires.

Overall Thoughts: Proctor Campground provides a charming escape for those looking to enjoy dispersed camping away from noisy civilization. Its proximity to notable trails makes it a prime location for hiking enthusiasts, while the generally quiet ambiance and absence of crowdedness make it a favored spot for many. Always be mindful of the weather and come prepared for colder temperatures, especially during winter months.

Great dispersed camping numbered spaces. The road into proctor road is easily accessible by any vehicle I drive a 26 ft converted bus and have made it in and out no problem. There are free range cattle that will come over and say hello. It can get cold in winter. Love this place over all.

My absolute favorite camping spot. Sometimes the place is empty and the deer have the run of the place. The people are great no one ever leaves trash and everyone is pretty quiet. It’s great 🥰🥰🥰

Doable first come first serve dispersed camping. Some sites are super large and great for group camping and/or sharing. The road is not suggested for low clearance. Lots of scraped rocks were proof of that. There are 12 official sites, with the last one ending at 1.6 miles for main road. Very slow 5mph even with high clearance. Will post photos in order of sites and pull offs. Some do not have official numbers and the photos I post in between numbered sites are in order of passing. Only a few with shade certain times of the day. Most of the large numbered sites are for more than one car. After speaking with the ranger it is okay to take a second camp site in a numbered site as they are not reserved and there’s plenty of room to share. Along the road there are private gates and some closed areas that are all marked. Also, some sites have hammock trees!

Proctor campground, Elevation: 4418’, 31.73963, -110.88831 Located just beyond Proctor Road Parking, has 13 dispersed campsites on a 1.5 mile stretch of dirt road. Sites 12 and 13 require high clearance vehicles And these are the only sites that have overhanging branches along the road. There are also three gated private properties. Lots of wildlife, mule deer in my campsite daily. Great Verizon service, was able to stream movies. Good stargazing in spite of smoke from California wildfires. Close to Madera Canyon Trail, hiked to Bog Springs via Madera Trail. Also, gated trailhead to Elephant Head just past 13th campsite. No services, pack in/pack There are campfire rings.

Stayed here 2 nights recently in a camper van. It is a fairly busy area but the short trees do give some privacy. Couple folks near me ran generators a lot. Location to Madera Canyon was ideal.
