Very bad news tonight for the thousands of East Bay families who are fans of Berkeley Tuolumne Family Camp. It burned down today, according to John Miller, spokesman for the US Forest Service. Owned and operated by the City of Berkeley, the beautiful and popular camp along the Tuolumne River near Yosemite National Park has been around since 1922. But today, it was the victim of the massive Rim Fire, which is still burning out of control in the Sierra.

The Rim fire has now been raging for more than week and has spread to more than 133,000 acres, making it one of the largest wildfires in California history. Several camps near Berkeley Tuolumne Family camp remain in peril, including San Francisco's Camp Mather, San Jose Family Camp, and Camp Tawonga. On Friday, one of the buildings at Camp Tawonga burned down, but the the USFS was unsure this evening as to the rest of the camp's status.
