Beautiful location for a campground, in a valley by the river. The name Sandy Flat is misleading, the campground is not flat, but most of the sites are. It is sandy but also very rocky, big boulders. It was difficult to drive stakes into the rocky ground. The hosts were very friendly. I did not have cell service at the site because of it being in a valley. Overall, a nice place to camp.
