Boating, fishing, and lake access draw campers to Horseshoe Bend Recreation Area, a BLM-managed campground on Lake McClure near Coulterville, California. The campground has three loops, A, B, and C, and loop placement matters here. Loop B backs up against a private trailer park separated only by a tree line or wire fence in some spots, and past visitors have reported construction noise from that direction during morning hours. Loops A and C appear to have more separation. Sites accommodate RVs up to 60 feet with electric and water hookups, and the campground also provides showers, a dump station, and drinking water, making it a functional base for anglers and boaters.
Wait, I need to check the word count. Let me recount and also verify the link. The nearest city link is for Groveland (9.4 mi north), not Coulterville. I should not use Coulterville as the anchor for the Groveland link. Let me redo this properly.
