Beautiful campground above the river with lots of trees providing good shade. Only complaint is that most sites that I saw including ours don’t really have a decent flat spot to put a large tent. The ground is just naturally uneven. Not really the campgrounds fault but maybe some work could be done to create good flat spots obvious for tents like they have at the Mountain View campground just up the way.

I reserved a "trailer" site (spot #6) for Pine Flats through this website, but unfortunately when we arrived, it was a tent site, as we were unable to back up our trailer anywhere due to large boulders blocking the site. Our only option was to parallel park in front of it (in a parking lot) then walk 20+ feet to get to the picnic table and fire pit. The guests next to us (spot #7) had the same situation and said they were upset to find they couldn't back their trailer in either. Guests in spot #5 had basically pitched their tent in our site, which was super rude. We left and stayed in Garden Valley for the weekend instead. The campground overall seems decent, and I'd like to try to stay there again some time, just need to CONFIRM the spot we reserve is, in fact, for trailers.

Hardly any trees. So in the summer, it’s just plain hot.

Pine Flats is a great family friendly spot - leave it better than you found it and be respectful of other campers!

Closest to the hot springs trail, further up on hill and away from most other campers. Nice flat driveway

This campsite was lovely. Just a short trek down to the river and a 10 minute walk to the hot springs. The campground was well taken care of.
No cell reception made for a nice quiet time.

Unknown to us, our site was a double site. Other occupants were unfriendly and threatening. We left after about 30 minutes.
