Beautiful Badger Flat
I camped two nights with my Grandson, then we were joined by family and friends. The campground is up in the Sierras On the Kaiser Pass road past Huntington Lake and before the summit. There are 15 sites, most of which are separated by forest and have a beautiful creek running nearby. It is a pay per night (22), first come first serve site selection, have pit toilets and no available drinking water, other than purifying the creek water. The area is quiet and beautiful, with some free range cows that saunter by without disturbing the campers. It was a very nice place for family and friends to camp.
