Sand Flat Campground
Sand Flat Campground sits along the Clark Fork of the Stanislaus River in the Stanislaus National Forest. The campground offers sites tucked in among the trees along the river as well as more spacious sites out in a scattered conifer forest. Anglers can stroll down to the river and cast their lines only a dozen yards from their campsites. Hikers can set out to explore the trails in the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness.
Of the 68 sites at Sand Flat Campground, 15 are walk-in tent sites. The rest can accommodate trailers, RVs or tents. Water is available from hand pumps. Some of the vault toilets in the campground are ADA accessible.
