First time but not the last

Never been up 108 past strawberry, after some research and talking with friends, we decided to camp here. Definitely did not disappoint. Beautiful views, close enough to the river. Camp sites were nice and bathrooms. Host was super nice too. Lots of hiking trails near by. Can't wait to come back up here.

Hidden Gem

This campground was a great find. Baker and deadman’s were FULL so we drove out a little to Clark’s and it did not disappoint. Lots of good site. Single and double. It’s not right off the river but a short walk to it. Loop A has vaulted toilets loop b has flush. Water all through out. First come first serve but there are plenty of sites.

Great camping

We have been camping here for years it's a great camp ground and the river is very shallow in most spots and good for fishing and just past the 1st bridge into the camp ground there is a great hiking trail along side of the river you just have to climb over a few boulders then it an easy hike from there well until you hike back up the trail that is.

Amazing secluded secret place

We went for 5 days for 4th of July holiday. We were referred by another camp host so we decided to check it out. After driving nearly 3 hours I was directed to then turn off the main highway and take a semi paved road off into the woods. The road followed a river but was surrounded by recently burned trees. The area has recently been part of a fire. I was skeptical as I drove farther into the woods. But then the trees started to green up. And the flowing river along the odd road was beautiful under the clear blue sky with bright green trees soaring above. The sign for the turn to the campground appeared and we headed over the river into a well forested quiet well kept campground. All of the sites seemed to be large and separated from each other. Privacy was guaranteed. The river could be heard from our site and the birds chirped while the trees blew slightly in the breeze. Again I mention we were there for the July 4th holiday. The entire campground was filled by the weekend. But it was still quiet. An occasional loud laugh or someone’s evening tunes or even a camp fire song group was heard. We were in a tent and it did get cold. A lot of campers had trailers. And for them there is a dump site right there at the grounds. I can’t wait to go back.

Clark's Fork: A modern campground away from civilization.

Clark's Fork is a large campground with 88 sites – all of which are situated with lots of space so that you aren’t too close to your neighbors. The availability of adjacent “double sites” makes this campground a great place for larger groups of families and friends. The 25 sites on Loop A offer vault toilets and cost $19 an night. Loop B sites offer flush toilets and cost $20 a night. There are also 14 nice family-sized equestrian sites and one group equestrian site. Sites are within easy walking distance of the water. No matter what kind of camping you want to plan, Clark's Fork offers options. A RV dump station is located near the entrance to the campgrounds. The Clark's Fork Campground is on a first-come, first-served basis. This beautiful wooded campground is on the Stanislaus River, recommended for your fishing and scenic pleasure.
