Clark Fork Campground, Central Sierra Nevada, California
|
| | The Clark Fork Campground has a number of nice sites. Most of the campers have trailers or RVs. The campground has pit toilets that are clean and relatively pleasant. There is a shower facility--bring plenty of quarters for your shower. The fishing in the Clark Fork River is good. The Forest Service plants trout every week. There are plenty of nice side creeks such as Cloudburst and Arnot that are good fishing too. The hike up the trail along the upper Clark Fork to the waterfall is a very nice hike. You will enjoy Clark Fork campground. My |
family for three generations and over 50 years has been camping here. Says Henry Wirz
Don't leave Clark Fork Campground without first going for a hike along the Emigrant Trail, and glide down the rapids of Carson River - East Fork in a kayak. So much amusing stuff to do
| at Clark Fork Campground, so little time. There's no way somebody can get bored here in the Central Sierra Nevada. There are fine places to look at along the Silver King Trail; lakes are such serene locations, why not explore Highland Lakes.

most of the snow falls all through January, and July on the other hand is the driest. A fine spot close to Clark Fork Campground is Woods Gulch, and this is a popular place for folks from Pinecrest. There's wonderful hiking along the Charity Valley Trail, and Stanislaus National
Forest is a picturesque spot any time of year. This is such a good campground. Places like Echo Canyon State Park are glorious to go to, and the best way to spend a winter day is on the slopes of close by Dodge Ridge. Just can't get enough of Clark Fork Campground. Whitewater
paddling is good on Stanislaus River - Middle Fork, and a visit to Sand Flat invigorates the spirit. Yep, outdoors fun stuff truly is plentiful here in the Central Sierra Nevada. Paddling on Carson River - East Fork is so much fun, and you can go for a hike on the Corral Valley
Trail. This campground is so good. Going for a hike on the Pacific Crest Trail - section 13 is always a perfect adventure, and why not have a look at close by Arnot Creek while you're here at Clark Fork Campground.
