About Dixie Glade Campground
Perched along Forest Road M10 high above the popular Fouts Springs OHV area, Dixie Glade Campground offers an intimate escape with just seven thoughtfully appointed sites. Each campsite comes complete with sturdy tables, grills, and – uniquely – corrals and hitching posts that welcome equestrian adventurers and their trusted packstock companions. A gentle 0.8-mile trail winds from the campground to connect with the renowned Deafy Glade Trail, serving as your gateway to the pristine Snow Mountain Wilderness where endless adventures await.
Dixie Glade Campground offers primitive camping options with basic facilities. There is no evidence of modern accommodations such as RV hookups, cabins, or glamping.
Historical SignificanceWhile the recorded history of Dixie Glade remains quietly tucked away in the mountains, the campground stands as a testament to the enduring relationship between humans and horses in California's backcountry. The presence of corrals and hitching posts speaks to generations of pack trips and wilderness expeditions that have passed through these lands.

ElevationNestled in the heart of the Snow Mountain Wilderness, Dixie Glade sits at a mountain elevation where the air is crisp and clear. This lofty perch provides cooler temperatures than the valleys below and offers expansive views of the surrounding wilderness peaks and ridges.
Natural Features and SceneryThe campground serves as a natural amphitheater surrounded by the dramatic landscapes of Snow Mountain Wilderness. Towering conifers provide dappled shade while diverse mountain flora paints the understory with seasonal colors. The rugged mountainous terrain creates a stunning backdrop, with hidden water bodies reflecting the sky and nourishing the rich ecosystem that thrives here. From your campsite, watch as morning mist clings to distant peaks and evening light transforms the wilderness into a golden paradise.
Geological RegionDixie Glade rests within the remarkable Snow Mountain Wilderness, a geological wonderland where ancient forces have sculpted a landscape of soaring peaks and deep valleys. This mountainous region showcases nature's artistry through exposed rock formations, diverse forest communities, and the intricate patterns carved by centuries of weather and water. The varied terrain supports an incredible array of plant life, from hardy alpine species to lush meadow wildflowers, creating a tapestry of ecosystems that change with every turn of the trail.
