Dirt Flat Campground
Dirt Flat Campground
Dirt Flat Campground is a small, remote walk-in tent campground situated on the north side of the Merced River in Sierra National Forest, offering direct river access for paddling and water activities.
The campground features vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, but operates as a pack-in/pack-out facility with no drinking water available.
Located just a short distance from Yosemite National Park's west entrance, it serves as a convenient base for spring and early summer whitewater paddling on the Merced River.
