About
Evans Flat Campground sits at 6,100 feet elevation in the scenic Greenhorn Mountains of Sequoia National Forest. This free, rustic campground offers 20 sites with a particular focus on equestrian use, featuring 4 dedicated equestrian sites, fenced pastures, and corrals for horses. The surrounding area is laced with a network of roads and trails ideal for horseback riding and exploring the high-country terrain. Facilities are primitive but functional: vault toilets and picnic tables are provided, but there is no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. Trash service is not available, so plan to pack out everything you bring in. The campground is free to use with no reservations accepted or required. The campground typically operates from May through November, weather permitting. A California campfire permit is required for any campfires, barbecues, or camp stoves, available from the Kern River Ranger Station or online at preventwildfireca.org. Fire restrictions may prohibit campfires during high fire danger periods. Maximum RV length is 20 feet, making this campground best suited for tent campers, truck campers, or small trailers.
