Forest Service roads lead to Gravel Flat Camping Area, an established site within Sierra National Forest near Dunlap, California. The campground operates year-round but prohibits pets, making it suitable for campers who prefer pet-free environments. Located near a river, the site provides access to water-based activities and the sounds of flowing water.
The Forest Service manages this established camping area alongside several other nearby options. Campers exploring the region can find additional campgrounds around Sierra National Forest within the same forest system.
Description
The campground is located along the north side of the Kings River on a large sandy flat area. There is no shade so it is very hot during the summer months, but is a great place for camping in the spring and fall. Access is paved and dirt (last 1 mile). Vehicles must stay on roads. Each site has a table and grill. Please pack out all garbage.__Poison Oak abounds in this area, please avoid plants with three leaf clusters: "Leaves of three, let it be!" Watch for rattlesnakes. When fire restrictions are in place (usually during the summer months) NO campfires or charcoal fires are permitted. Camp stoves are permitted. There is no cell phone coverage in the area, but a pay phone is available at Balch Camp.
