Badger Flats Group will be closed the entire 2020 – 2023 camping season due to a massive hazard tree removal.
Badger Flats Group Camp sits in a quiet and isolated area along Rancheria Creek, at an elevation of over 8,000 feet in the High Sierra. The site sits on open and flat land shaded by fir trees and can accommodate up to 100 people and 35 vehicles.
There is trailhead access to the Kaiser Wilderness. There is also a trail that connects to the California Riding and Hiking Trail.
There is a sandy area along Rancheria Creek, and wading is possible.
Horses are permitted in this camp, but no equestrian amenities are provided. Each unit has a grill, fire ring, bear-proof food locker and picnic table.
Vault toilets are provided. Drinking water is not available at this campground.
The Sierra National Forest, located on the western slope of the central Sierra Nevada, is known for its spectacular mountain scenery and abundant natural resources.
The terrain includes rolling, oak-covered foothills, heavily forested middle elevation slopes and the starkly beautiful alpine landscape of the High Sierra.
For facility specific information, please call (559) 893-2308.
Huntington Lake is about 5 miles away and offers many recreational activities, including hiking, horseback riding, biking, canoeing, sailing, fishing, windsurfing and swimming. Anglers can fish for rainbow trout, brown trout or kokanne salmon.
Take Hwy 168 east from Clovis to Shaver Lake. Continue through Shaver Lake to Huntington Lake. At the east end of Huntington Lake, turn right onto Kaiser Pass Road (at Eastwood Visitor Center). Travel 5 miles up the Kaiser Pass Road to Badger Group Campground.
Been there twice. Totally awesome. Huntington right down the road and drove to mono hot springs. Will be going again in June when it's hot in the valley.
Very nice place to get down and away from the road. There is a nice littler stream that runs through the campground and it appears that it is good for some day hiking/off-road vehicle use.
Really awesome campground. There are some spots that are far away from all the other camps which provide a lot of privacy. When we went, there weren't any bugs, ants, wild animals except a few tagged cows who seemed friendly.
Great location. Very dusty though so things will get dirty including clothes. Also be prepared for the high elevation. Not as much oxygen that high up so pace yourself.
