Crab Flats Campground California

Crab Flats Overview

Crab Flats campground is the place to go if you’re into solitude, stargazing and OHVing! The campground is remote and has 29 campsites for tents, trailers and RVs. There are 23 reservable sites and 6 first-come, first-serve campsites.  The sites are fairly large and set among tall pines, oaks and cedar trees. The campground is reached by driving about 4 miles on a dirt forest service road. The road is usually in good shape, but not recommended for large RVs as it gets a bit narrow in spots.

Campground amenities include vault toilets and drinking water. Each site also has a table, fire ring and grate. Running Springs is your closest town (for supplies) and is about 9 miles away.  Group camping is also available nearby (Tent Peg Group Camp).
