Cedar Flat Group Camps Introduce

Welcome to Cedar Flat Group Camps, located at CA-168, Big Pine, CA 93513. As part of the Campgrounds & RV Parks category, Cedar Flat Group Camps provides large, separated group campsites, offering a unique desert camping experience.

Cedar Flat Group Camps consists of three distinct branches, each with its own characteristics. The Noren branch is noted as the most desolate, while the other two branches offer more natural shade due to an increased presence of trees. This variation allows groups to choose a site that best suits their preferences.

The campground offers ample space for dispersed camping, providing a sense of privacy and seclusion. The separated branches minimize noise and visual distractions from other groups, enhancing the camping experience. Visitors are encouraged to explore the area to find their ideal camping spot.

During the summer months, particularly in July and August, temperatures can be extremely high. Visitors should be prepared for the heat and plan accordingly. Daytime activities may be limited at the campground itself, so it is recommended to plan excursions to nearby attractions in Big Pine or Bishop, or to bring ample entertainment and refreshments.

Amenities at Cedar Flat Group Camps include clean bathrooms and readily available dumpsters. However, visitors should be aware that the area is well-used and can be dusty. The area also hosts local wildlife, including lizards, flies, and occasional honey bees.

The campground is easily accessible via a well-maintained road, suitable for most vehicles, including a Prius. One of the highlights of Cedar Flat Group Camps is the clear night sky, perfect for stargazing.

Cedar Flat Group Camps offers a quiet and spacious environment for group camping, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a tranquil outdoor experience. Visitors should consider the summer heat and plan their activities accordingly.

I was in the Noren branch. It's the most desolate of the three. The other two have more trees as you move north, so if you like some natural shade, the others are better. Decent large campground for the price. The three branches are separated, so you can barely see and hear the other groups there, but there is lots of room for dispersed camping. Poke around to find your favorite spot! Summer temps were hot and on this weekend (7/5-8/24) it was brutal, but I knew that going in. There isn't a lot to do up there during the day, so make sure you have things planned down in the Big Pine/Bishop area or bring a lot of friends and a metric ton of cold drinks :) I drove across the Owens Valley and soaked in Big Pine Creek during the day. The bathroom was clean. There was some trash, but not a lot. The place is well used, so there's lots of fine dust everywhere. Lots of lizards to watch and the flies and a few honey bees were a bit bothersome, but with it being so hot and dry, they're interested in anything that might mean sustenance. I would go again if it was cooler. The night sky is awesome if it's clear.

We stopped during a road trip and it was so quiet. Nothing better than leaving the city to do lunch in a place with no traffic or sounds of the city. We saw lizards which was fun. The road to the campground was easy. My Prius didn't have an issue. There are alot of dumpsters, too.
