About
Sand Flat Campground is a forested retreat along the Clark Fork of the Stanislaus River, located about 25 miles east of the Summit Ranger Station in the high Sierra. The campground features 68 sites spread across a mix of drive-in and walk-in configurations, all with tables and fire rings. Four hand-pump wells provide potable water throughout the campground, and vault toilets (some ADA accessible) are available. The campground serves as a base for exploring the Clark Fork area, with access to the Iceberg Meadow Trailhead nearby for day hikes. The Clark Fork River offers fishing opportunities. An RV dump station is available at the nearby Clark Fork Campground entrance for a fee. The road to Sand Flat is steep, narrow, and unpaved past Fraser Flat, making it unsuitable for large RVs and trailers. Operated by Dodge Ridge Mountain Resort under a Forest Service special use permit, Sand Flat is strictly first-come, first-served with no advance reservations. Cash payment is required. The campground operates seasonally from approximately late May through October, weather dependent.
Directions
From Highway 108, turn north onto Clark Fork Road approximately 26 miles east of Pinecrest. Continue six miles on Clark Fork Road to the campground. Note: the road is steep, narrow, and unpaved past Fraser Flat Campground.
