Island Park

Pine Flat lake is beautiful. However, during this visit, the ranger office's phone system was down. Two men were in the back of my campsite looking in my camper on Friday and on Saturday night, someone stoled my nice picnic table set up. The rangers couldn't be reached on the phone. In addition, ranger presence was very thin. It did not feel safe, even with the volunteers next door.

Beautiful view, amazing sunrise/sunset lots of trails and space for fishing very very reasonable rules. Overall great place!

We had reservations starting on Christmas Eve (12/24/24) for 6 nights. We drove several hours, and upon arrival at about 3:30 p.m., the gate to the campground was locked. There were no rangers or any postings explaining why the gate was locked. After calling the phone number that was posted several times, no one answered. We chose this location because it is close to Sequoia. We called recreation.gov, and they had no answers either. So, we drove another two hours to another campground and arrived after dark. On Thursday, December 26, we received a phone call from Isaac apologizing. He said someone forgot to unlock the gate. This unacceptable lack of responsibility cost us a lot of extra time and money.

Nice weather in May. Parking space has been changed, which is a problem.

It reached 107° one day during this visit. Pine Flat is a beautiful camping area with hills and shade trees. The summers are hot.

My experience at the lake was excellent. I noticed the park and the lake was more clean No trash in the lake wich I love it. I think was perfect to have the park closed by memorial day weekend, because I noticed everything was cleaner. We should be more concerned to keep the lake and the campsite without trash.

The family and I had so much fun. Camp host was very helpful and nice

Nice location and views, after some clean-up. Unfortunately the campers prior to me left a mess (USB cords, beer bottle caps, cigarette butts, plastic bottles and caps, etc.). I spent the first hour picking up their mess so that I could enjoy the rest of my time without the sight of what they left behind. My father taught me to leave it as good or better than you found it. I did.
Greeting Ranger was friendly and provided helpful information about this particular campground.
Would have rated higher if I didn't have to do the clean-up of others.

The double sites we reserved were perfect for our large family and very affordable . We had a trail leading down to the water and we could keep the kids in our sight as they swam. The site was close to the bathroom and the water for personal use! Great location for camping-

Great campsite, welcoming staff. The site was clean apon arrival, and same could be said for the state of the bathroom. I enjoyed
my stay here and if I wanted to stay in this area again, I’d definitely go with this campsite. Gas station and other stores are a short distance away, convenient for last minute essentials.

Only negative side is the lack of signal—I had 0 services and nor did my friends with other services.
