Dardanelle Campground

Dardanelle Campground offers a serene escape nestled within a beautiful mixed conifer forest. Situated directly along the banks of the Stanislaus River, this Federal campground provides a peaceful setting for those looking to immerse themselves in nature. With its prime location off Highway 108, it serves as an ideal basecamp for explorers wanting to experience the rugged beauty of the region.

The campground features 28 campsites, including two double sites and four walk-in sites, catering to both tent campers and RV travelers. While the experience is primitive, guests have access to paved parking pads, vault toilets, and piped water hydrants located throughout the grounds. For those who enjoy active days, two scenic hiking trails originate right from the campground, providing immediate access to the surrounding wilderness.

This site is best suited for outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate a rustic, back-to-basics atmosphere. Whether you are looking to spend your days fishing along the river or hiking through the forest, Dardanelle provides a quiet, accessible retreat for families and adventurers alike. Please note that while the main roads and pads are paved, this is a primitive facility, making it perfect for those who enjoy a traditional camping experience.
