Located along north side of the Kings River on a large sandy flat area. Take a day hike on the Bear Wallow trail located just west of the campground. Great place for camping in spring and fall. Very hot during summer months. Please pack out all garbage. No cell phone coverage in the area. Pay phone is available at Balch Camp.
Take Belmont Avenue east from Fresno. Follow Belmont Avenue until it turns into Trimmer Springs Road. Continue on Trimmer Springs Road past the community of Piedra and around Pine Flat Reservoir. Travel past Kirch Flat campground, crossing over the Kings River. Continue another mile until the pavement ends at the Bailey Bridge. Cross over the bridge and make right turn up the Garnet Dike Road. Campground is about 2.5 miles from the bridge. Driving time from Fresno is 2 hours.
Went there the week after they decided to be close (didn't check if it was open or not) it was nice but I recommend driving up there with a car that can go of road
I'm not much of a camping person, but the area itself is beautiful and peaceful with the sounds of the King's River running through it. If it wasn't for the narrow rough and rocky road getting there I may have given it 5🌟.
Best dispersed (no plumbing or electricity) camping near Fresno/Clovis. Right on the Kings River and gorgeous scenery all around! Make sure you apply for a fire permit and carry it with you though.
This is a primitive camping area. Great views and good fishing. Vault bathroom are usually clean. Good winter camp.
Great camping that's free, first come first served, please pack and remove your garbage. Wildlife such as hawks, frogs, lizards, and foxes are abundant.
