US Army Corps of Engineers

Fairly close to Kings canyon NP. Campsites are a bit close to other campers/RVers, but overall, a nice site. 

Nice view of pine flat lake

Rangers were very nice, it was clean and they have pretty good showers. We were very late to check-in but had no problems getting in. One of the boat launch ramps was right there in the camp ground and the other was really close at lake view. Water was really low but still had a blast on my kayak and with my dogs and trying to catch fish. It’s by reservations only and we stayed 3 nights. It is pretty far away from the market so don’t forget to pack your cooler. Definitely recommend this camp.



Very relaxing 

Pine Flat is a beautiful place close to home yet far enough to find a peaceful getaway at the lake. Campgrounds are clean, restrooms and showers are close to campaign if you are tent camping. Trails to hike and explore.
