About This Location

Discover Airport Flat Campground in the Eldorado National Forest. This federal site offers group-focused camping in a scenic, remote forest setting.

Airport Flat Campground provides a unique, group-oriented camping experience nestled deep within the Eldorado National Forest. Located north of Highway 50 via Ice House Road, this site is designed to accommodate larger gatherings, with individual sites organized into pods that comfortably house groups of 15 to 25 people. Its remote location offers a peaceful escape for those looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the California wilderness.

The campground is set within a forested landscape that offers a moderate experience level for outdoor enthusiasts. Because this is a primitive federal campground managed by the USFS, visitors should be prepared for a self-sufficient stay, as there are no hookups or listed amenities. Travelers are encouraged to pack all necessary supplies and equipment to ensure a comfortable trip.

This campground is best suited for groups, clubs, or large families who enjoy off-grid RV or tent camping in a quiet, natural environment. Whether you are planning a weekend retreat or a basecamp for forest exploration, the spacious layout of the pods makes it an ideal choice for social gatherings under the trees.
