U.S. Army Corps of Engineers allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
Trimmer Campground is a single-loop facility on the shore of Pine Flat Lake in the foothills of the central Sierra Nevada. The 10 individual sites overlook the water, each equipped with a picnic table, campfire ring, and grill. Amenities include a well-lit restroom with flush toilets, hot showers, and an adjacent boat ramp and courtesy dock. Anglers fish for bass, wild trout, and crappie in the 20-mile-long reservoir, while whitewater rafting on the Kings River and scenic drives through Kings Canyon National Park sit just upstream.
