Sand Flat Campground, Northern Sierra Nevada, California   Went there for the first time. It's definitely on the 'go back again' list. The road down is pretty rough. My explorer handled it with zero problem. I ran it in 2wd mode on the way back up just to make sure that a normal car could make it. The key to the road, known to the locals as 'Wolfboro road' is to take it very slow. Shift into low, and just let gravity lead you into camp. When I went, there were 2 'crossings' where you had to go into water. The water is not deep, just don't go plowing through and you'll be fine. On my way out, I was met with a Mitsubishi     sedan making his way down. He was doing fine, although he was having to keep his speeds below 5mph Says Nate Moore So many entertaining things in the vicinity of Sand Flat Campground, and what a great site for camping it is. California is a great outdoors state. Be careful coming to the Northern Sierra Nevada, you might not ever wanna return back home again. Bear Lake is a nearby lake that you could pop by, and if you come at the right time of year, Stanislaus River - North Fork offers some brilliant whitewater. A campground like this is too splendid to miss. Highland Creek is a nice local stream, and get yourself into a kayak and hit Mokelumne River - North Fork. A good location like Calaveras Big Trees State Park in the neighborhood of Sand Flat Campground is too delightful to leave out; whitewater paddling is not   for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Stanislaus River - South Fork.
