About

Sand Bar Flat Campground is a forested campground located on the Middle Fork of the Stanislaus River in Stanislaus National Forest. This developed site provides a secluded camping experience with excellent access to fly fishing and river recreation. The campground operates seasonally from April through December and features vault toilets and picnic tables at each site. Access requires traveling 10 miles north from Highway 108 at the Spring Gap turnoff via Fraser Flat Road. The Forest Service cautions that the road is steep, narrow, and unpaved past Fraser Flat Campground, making it not advisable for large RVs and trailers. Maximum RV/trailer length is 35 feet. The campground accommodates single and double campsites with a maximum of six people per single site and a 14-day stay limit. The campground is first-come, first-served with no potable water available on-site, so campers must bring their own drinking water. A campfire permit is recommended for stoves, grills, or campfires and can be obtained free at preventwildfiresca.org. Current conditions indicate no fees and no services are being collected at this time.
