Centerville Flats and Silver Creek Campgrounds are located along the early sections of Hwy 4 before you climb Ebbetts Pass. In addition, the Stanislaus National Forest Calaveras Ranger District lists multiple campground locations on the west side of the route, but that would require arriving to the starting line before the roads close at 5am.
