Within Stanislaus National Forest, Boulder Flat Campground operates as a Forest Service facility along Highway 108. The campground accommodates RVs up to 22 feet and provides standard amenities including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings. Sites feature spacious layouts with adequate separation, though backing into spots can prove challenging due to narrow access lanes lined with large boulders.
One camper noted the campground often serves as overflow when busier facilities like nearby Dardanelle Campground reach capacity. The Stanislaus River runs below the campground, accessible via a worn trail from sites 13-14 that leads to a sandy beach area. Afternoon winds typically pick up around 11 AM. Cell service remains limited, and campers should verify water spigot functionality upon arrival.
