Dispersed Camping
Hanning Flat Dispersed Area
Hanning Flat Dispersed Area, near Sequoia National Forest, is a fantastic spot for those who crave solitude and wide-open spaces. This location offers a true escape into nature, with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the scenery.
The area is known for its peaceful atmosphere, where you might go days without seeing another soul. Visitors have highlighted the stunning vistas and the chance to camp in complete privacy, making it a perfect retreat for those looking to unwind. Just be prepared for a bit of a rustic experience—there are no facilities like toilets or showers, so you'll need to bring everything you need and pack it out when you leave.
For those who enjoy wildlife, you might spot some cows grazing nearby or catch sight of deer and various birds. The sandy terrain can be tricky for larger vehicles, so a 4x4 is recommended if you want to explore deeper into the area. As one camper noted, “We had a few bars of service on Verizon and AT&T,” which can be a nice perk if you need to stay connected.
If you're up for a little adventure, the nearby Stine Cove campground offers swimming opportunities, though it’s a bit less private. With its beautiful sunsets and quiet roads perfect for evening strolls, Hanning Flat is a great choice for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature without the distractions of modern life.
