Badger Flat Campgrounds are located 5 miles east of Huntington Lake (shown above) in the Sierra National Forest. A standard family campground is well-separated from a large group campground. The family campground has 15, first-come, first-served sites among the trees close to Rancheria Creek. Campsites can accommodate trailers, RVs, and tents. There is no potable water. Before entering the site, campers are asked to check in at the Eastwood CLM office located at the east end of Huntington Lake.
Horses are permitted at both Badger Flat Campgrounds, but there are no special equestrian facilities.
The spacious group site can accommodate up to 100 people and 35 vehicles. Although it lacks some common campground amenities such as piped water, it serves as an excellent gathering place for OHV and equestrian groups. A trail connects to the California Riding and Hiking Trail. A sandy area along adjacent Rancheria Creek provides a nice wading area.
