Porcupine Flat Campground — Hotel in Oakhurst

You don’t come here for the campground. It’s a place to sleep while you explore the park. The camp itself is pretty dense and there is no privacy between sites. One annoying group partying or carrying on into the night will have a big impact on your experience. On my visit the first night a group of 5 or 6 guys a few sites away were very loud late into the night going to like 2am. I can tell you about all their wife/girlfriend problems, boss problems, and their politics. On the second night a couple showed up that put up so many lights that it washed out the ability for anyone in the camp to see the stars.

Very basic campsites but still great location. My gripe is less about the campsite itself than with the fact that with no host some of the campers here can be a little obnoxious - we had a group next to us of about 5 or 6 that had music on very loud and partied well past midnight. When asked if they could tone it down a little we were told to F off and they would do whatever they pleased.

Wonderfully secluded and with a great hike down to North Dome on its doorstep, this campground is a real gem.

No running water, clean vault toilets, and beautiful scenery make this quiet campground a must visit for those willing to put in a little work for their views.

The family of gophers that live towards the back of the camp are the icing...
