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

Paddling on Carson River - East Fork is so much fun, and on a perfect day you can take a hike along the Emigrant Trail. There's no way someone can get bored here in the Central Sierra
Nevada. While you're here at Clark Fork Campground it's a splendid idea to go to Sand Flat; if the weather is magnificent, you can go for a hike along the Corral Valley Trail. That right there is lots already, but it continues; Clark Fork Campground has it all. A day on the slopes of Dodge Ridge is just what you need, and there is a great hiking trail nearby called the Charity Valley Trail. All the water falling down from the sky makes Clark Fork Campground a wet spot; most of the snow falls during January; the driest month of the year is July.

Whitewater paddling is tremendous on Stanislaus River - Middle Fork, and needless to say Arnot Creek flows through this neighborhood.
