Big Sandy Campground

Big Sandy Campground is a primitive 18-site campground on a large sandy flat adjacent to Big Creek in Sierra National Forest, accessible via 6 miles of paved and dirt road from Highway 41.

The campground operates May-September on a first-come, first-served basis and accommodates vehicles up to 20 feet, with each site featuring a grill, fire ring, and picnic table, though no potable water is provided.

This remote location offers a quiet setting for camping and creek access, though the challenging dirt road access requires careful driving.
