About Kirch Flat Group Campground

At approximately 1,000 feet in elevation, Kirch Flat Campground resides on a large flat area on the river’s edge of the scenic Kings River and is surrounded by rolling, oak-covered foothills and spectacular river canyon and mountain views of the Sierra Nevada. Though it can be very hot in the summer months, Kirch Flat Group Campground is a great place to camp during the spring and fall months and is popular with San Joaquin Valley residents, fisherman, day users, and whitewater enthusiasts who come to enjoy many challenging rapids and beautiful canyon scenery of the King’s River.  A good amount of shade is provided by oak and pine trees throughout the area; however, there is no running water or cell service at the campground. Campers are encouraged to bring their own garbage bags, always keep a clean campsite, and keep trash and food packed up so wildlife is not tempted.   The nearest services are in Sanger, a decently sized town about 45 miles (1 hour 20 min.) away, with all essential services (i.e., gas, supplies, groceries, restaurants, etc.). Although there is no cell phone coverage at the campground, there is a location with cell phone reception approximately 10 minutes away or the nearest pay phone is at Balch Camp, a PG & E community about a 10-minute drive.  Watch out for rattlesnakes and poison oak. Poison Oak abounds in this area. Please avoid plants with three leaf clusters: "Leaves of three, let it be!"

What Guests Are Saying

Kirch Flat Group Campground offers a beautiful riverside location with clean facilities, including spotless bathrooms, bear boxes, and ample picnic tables and grills. While the site is well-maintained, larger groups may find the tent area insufficient for up to 50 people. Some users experienced issues with reservation access due to a lack of internet, but overall, visitors had enjoyable stays and appreciated the campground's amenities.

We stayed at the group campsite. Bathrooms spotless, nice bear boxes, beautiful fire ring with benches, and even trash cans which we did not expect. Absolutely gorgeous spot on the river. Plenty of picnic tables & grills for any number of people, but if you really had a big group of up to 50 people, they would definitely not fit their tents. We nearly filled up the tent area with 5 small tents. Just FYI in case you got a big group.

Kirch Flat camp grounds is a really nice camp group. My one star is regarding my group camp site reservation. I was lockout of the site because 1. I wasn't aware that I would be provided lock code.
2. Because of no internet in the area of Kirch Flat, I didn't have access to more information that would have told me of the needed code. Needless to say I paid for a reservation that I couldn't use. Thankfully we we're able to use an uninhibited campsite and adjusted to our limited space and had a great time!
