About
Niagara Creek Campground offers a quiet, primitive camping experience in the high Sierra mixed conifer forest of Stanislaus National Forest. The campground sits on Forest Road 5N01, accessed by turning right off Highway 108 at Eagle Meadow Road, approximately 15 miles from the Summit Ranger Station. With just 10 sites spread along dirt-surfaced roads and parking pads, the campground maintains a secluded atmosphere. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring for campfires. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no potable water on site. Campers must bring adequate drinking water or filter/treat water from nearby natural sources. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations available through Recreation.gov. Payment is cash only to the on-site host.
Directions
17 miles east of Pinecrest, 1 mile off Highway 108 on Eagle Meadow Road (Forest Road 5N01).
