Sandy Flat Campground is located on the banks of the Lower Kern River below Lake Isabella in the Sequoia National Forest. The campground has 34 campsites for tents, small trailers and RVs (20 to 45 feet).

Campsites 15-19 are walk-in (tent) campsites. The campground has drinking water, vault toilets, a picnic area, paved roads and parking spurs. Each campsite has a table fire ring and grill.  Most campsites have a shade structure and those that don’t have some tree shade.  Sandy Flat is popular in the summer and on weekends. There is also a raft/kayak boat launch area at the campground. Cell service is poor.

The Lower Kern River is very popular for white water rafting and kayaking, as well as tubing and swimming when the river is at lower/calmer levels. It’s also has some pretty good fishing. Miracle Hot Springs is about a mile from the campground where you can soak with your neighbors in the nice thermal water. Other outdoor recreation includes picnicking, hiking, biking and wildlife viewing.

Hobo Campground is located about 1/2 mile down the road. It has 25 campsites (first-come, first-serve) that are also on the banks of the Lower Kern River.
