About
The Mi Wok Ranger District Campgrounds represent a collection of developed camping areas within the Stanislaus National Forest's western slope, centered along the Highway 108 corridor in Tuolumne County. Individual campgrounds such as Fraser Flat, Hull Creek, Niagara Creek, and Boulder Flat offer tent and small trailer camping in mixed conifer forest settings, many situated along the banks of the Stanislaus River or its tributaries. These campgrounds cater to anglers, OHV enthusiasts, and those seeking a quieter forest experience away from the larger, more developed sites near Pinecrest Lake. Most sites include picnic tables and fire rings with grill grates, while vault toilets are standard throughout. Potable water is available at some locations like Hull Creek but not at others, so campers should plan accordingly. Site fees range from $15 to $28 per night depending on the campground, with Senior and Access Pass holders receiving 50% discounts. Most operate on a first-come, first-served basis with cash-only payment. Large RVs and motorhomes cannot be accommodated at many locations due to tight access roads and small site pads.
Directions
From Highway 108 east of Sonora, individual campgrounds are accessed via turnoffs along the corridor. Fraser Flat is 3 miles north of Highway 108 at the Spring Gap/Fraser Flat Road turnoff. Hull Creek is 12 miles southeast of Long Barn via Forest Road 3N01. Niagara Creek is 1 mile off Highway 108 on Eagle Meadow Road, approximately 17 miles east of Pinecrest.
