Camping at George Hatfield

Address
4394 North Kelly Road
Hilmar, CA 95324

We have the Group Campsite.

According to the website. This park is in the San Joaquin valley and is surrounded by the Merced River. The park has many trees and is home to various wildlife, especially birds. Swimming, fishing and picnicking are popular activities.

I have looked into the fishing prospects. There are fishing opportunities under typical flows and I will bring fishing gear. According to the nearest flow gage I could find, there is little to no flow in this section of river due to the ongoing drought conditions. By September the river may be dry in this reach. Crossing my fingers that something changes.
