Nice spot, not too far off the hwy

This spot is right off the hwy, the road has deep ruts but was manageable in my little van, just had to take it slow. I pulled into the second site I found and I haven't seen anyone else all night or day. You can hear the hwy, but nothing disturbing or constant. Didn't bother me a bit. Pack in pack out obviously, no bathroom or water or electric, just beautiful open field and pine trees.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of access road conditions should I expect at Kenny Flats Dispersed Camping?

Kenny Flats Dispersed Camping is located right off the highway, making it relatively easy to find. The access road does have deep ruts that require careful navigation, especially for lower-clearance vehicles. You'll need to take it slow, but the road is manageable even in smaller vehicles like vans. Just drive cautiously and watch for the rougher sections to avoid bottoming out.

What amenities are available at Kenny Flats Dispersed Camping?

Kenny Flats is a primitive dispersed camping area with no developed amenities. There are no restrooms, water sources, trash services, or electrical hookups. This is a true pack-in, pack-out location where you'll need to bring everything you require and take all waste with you when you leave. Come prepared with sufficient water and waste disposal plans.

What type of camping setup works best at Kenny Flats?

The dispersed sites at Kenny Flats accommodate various camping setups. Small to medium vans, tent campers, and smaller RVs that can handle the rutted access road will do well here. There are multiple pull-in spots where you can set up camp. The area is best suited for self-contained camping units since there are no facilities available.

How crowded is Kenny Flats Dispersed Camping?

Kenny Flats offers a surprisingly secluded experience despite its accessibility from the highway. The camping area has multiple sites spread out, and it's common to have plenty of privacy with few or no other campers visible or audible from your site. Even during regular use periods, you might not encounter other campers during your stay.

Is Kenny Flats noisy due to its proximity to the highway?

While Kenny Flats is situated near the highway, the traffic noise is minimal and not constant. You can hear vehicles passing occasionally, but it's not disruptive to the camping experience. Most campers find the ambient sounds acceptable and not bothersome for sleeping or enjoying the outdoors.
