About this campground
Hidden deep in the rugged backcountry where only 4x4 vehicles dare to venture, Sand Flat Campground offers an exclusive wilderness experience for the most adventurous souls. This remote sanctuary features six intimate campsites, each thoughtfully appointed with sturdy picnic tables and traditional campfire rings where stories and s'mores come to life under starlit skies. Currently closed to visitors, this off-the-grid gem sits peacefully along the pristine North Fork of the Stanislaus River, waiting to welcome those brave enough to navigate the challenging terrain that guards its forest sanctuary.
Sand Flat Campground is a primitive, small-scale camping area designed exclusively for 4WD access. It features minimal infrastructure and rustic conditions.

Natural Features and SceneryWrapped in a protective embrace of towering evergreens and ancient hardwoods, Sand Flat Campground offers an authentic forest immersion experience. The melodic whispers of the North Fork of the Stanislaus River provide nature's soundtrack as it winds through the verdant landscape, creating a peaceful ambiance that soothes the soul. Dappled sunlight filters through the dense canopy above, painting the forest floor in an ever-changing mosaic of light and shadow, while the crisp mountain air carries the earthy scents of pine needles and rich forest soil.
Geological RegionNestled within the lush forests of the North Fork Stanislaus River corridor, this campground occupies a special pocket of California's Sierra Nevada foothills where ancient geological forces have carved out a dramatic landscape of river valleys and forested ridges.
