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

Whitewater paddling is splendid on Stanislaus River - South Fork; hey, Gotta ski right? Bear Valley is a tremendous site to do that. This is really a glorious
campground. Mokelumne River - North Fork is a delightful whitewater spot near Sand Flat Campground, and swing by Highland Creek it's a great place to take a look at. Sand Flat Campground is a pretty wet place mostly with lots of rainfall; January is the wettest month with most snow, and the driest month is July. Here at Sand Flat Campground you'll perhaps meet some people from Phoenix Lake-Cedar Ridge, and sites like Stanislaus National Forest are glorious to take a look at.
The surroundings of this campground have so much stuff to offer. You completely

So much fun stuff to do in the Northern Sierra Nevada, not enough time. Hiking along the Emigrant Trail is brilliant fun; while you're here, you might as well stop at Onion Valley. This site, the Northern Sierra Nevada, has so much outdoors fun stuff. In case you don’t mind getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Stanislaus River - North Fork, and Calaveras Big Trees State Park is a great spot to stretch your legs a bit.
