We arrived at Hanna Flat campground around 11 am on Friday, August 21. First thing about the campground is that the road to get to it is pretty rough. Totally doable for any car, but take your time and be careful on the road! There are some pretty massive bumps you won't notice, so stick to the speed limit! Almost as soon as we got there, the camp host, Penny greeted us. We were told to find any spot marked "open", so we did. After setting up, we turned the reserved sign around... do not do this! We weren't aware of the camp protocol and because of this, we ended up making a little trouble. Check in is at 2pm, which we didn't know upon arrival at 11am, so later in the day when Penny came back around, she had another party set up to camp in our spot, where we had already set up our gear. We ended up working it out with the other party and were able to keep our campsite. The host, Penny eventually made her way back around and we were able to pay her, get some firewood, and offer our apologies. She was extremely sweet and happy we were able to resolve it between ourselves. The rest of the evening was wonderful. Easy parking, simple entry and exit, campfire rings, and animal-proof storage boxes. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous, our neighbors couldn't have been better, and even through a lot of issues, the host was accommodating, patient, and very friendly. We will definitely be camping here again if we ever make our way back to California.
