Chute Hill Campground

Sierra Nevada Home | Sierra Nevada Sitemap
Chute Hill Campground is positioned on the hill above the now defunct Malakoff Diggins hydraulic mining operation and the peaceful little town of North Bloomfield in the High Sierra. All the sites in this top-notch campground are located along a winding access road under soaring ponderosa pines. The sites closest to the edge of the hill have an excellent view of the Malakoff Diggins mine and North Bloomfield.

There are a number of enjoyable outdoor adventures available to visitors of Chute Hill Campgrounds. The Malakoff Diggins State Historical Park’s Blair Lake is a fine little fishing and swimming lake. Hikers can enjoy the Rim Trail that circles the Diggins works, as well as the lovely Diggins Loop Trail. Hiller Tunnel is a fun, if damp, place to explore, but visitors will need flashlights, a hat, and non-slip shoes.

Chute Hill Campground has 30 sites for tents or RVs at $10 per site and 3 rustic cabins at $20 per cabin. The campgrounds contain a water pump, some flush toilets and steel-drum styled fire-pits. April through November is the best season in which to go.
