Convict Flat Campground

Convict Flat Campground offers a peaceful, rustic escape nestled deep within the scenic landscape of Kings Canyon. Located nineteen miles northeast of Grant Grove via Highway 180, this intimate federal campground provides a quiet alternative to the more crowded parks in the region. Situated at an elevation of 3,000 feet, the site is open year-round, allowing visitors to experience the shifting beauty of the canyon in every season.

This compact site features five individual units, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a secluded, low-key camping experience. The terrain is well-suited for tent campers and those traveling with small to mid-size trailers. While the facility is primitive, it includes vault toilets to provide basic comfort during your stay.

Because of its size and limited amenities, Convict Flat is best suited for independent travelers and families who appreciate the simplicity of nature. Whether you are looking to explore local hiking trails or simply enjoy the tranquility of the canyon, this USFS-managed site serves as a perfect home base for your next wilderness adventure.
