Badger Flat Campground

Tucked amid the serene landscapes of the Sierra National Forest, Badger Flat Campground offers a tranquil retreat defined by its creekside location, dense fir-tree canopy, and convenient trailhead access to the Kaiser Wilderness. With its shaded, open terrain, the campground provides an inviting spot for nature enthusiasts seeking a break from the everyday.

The campground features 15 first-come, first-served sites equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. However, there is no drinking water available, requiring campers to bring their own supply. Its proximity to Rancheria Creek adds to the charm, offering opportunities for wading. The nearby Kaiser Wilderness trails make this an ideal base for hikers, while Huntington Lake, just five miles away, provides recreational options such as fishing, canoeing, and horseback riding.

Located at an elevation of over 7,300 feet, Badger Flat Campground sits along Kaiser Pass Road, a short drive from Lakeshore and Huntington Lake. Visitors should prepare for wildlife encounters in this natural setting, particularly bears, and adhere to food storage guidelines to ensure safety.
