About this park

Railroad Flat Campground is situated on the shore of the Merced Wild & Scenic River. All of the nine (9) campsites are within 100 feet of the river. The river is the main natural feature here; as well as easy access to the Merced River Trail just beyond the campground. The Merced River Trail follows the Old Yosemite Railroad grade past where cars can drive. This trail is spectacular during springtime (February-April)! It provides good access to more secluded swimming and fishing holes downstream from the campgrounds. This trail also provides access to the North Fork of the Merced River where swimming and wildflower viewing is excellent in spring to early summer. Wildflower viewing is great all along the Merced River. The best season to see the colorful display is February through April. California Newts are common in this area. They are active in the winter and spring especially on wet days. They are slow moving docile creatures, but do not touch or pick them up. They have a neurotoxin in their skin that is poisonous to people and pets. Do not eat them.
