Poverty Flat Camps

About this site

The Middle Fork of Coyote Creek runs through Poverty Flat, which is nestled in the canyon between Pine Ridge and Middle Ridge. The five backpack sites in the area are spread out along the rocky creek and are pleasantly shaded by large oaks and sycamore trees. In wet years, the creek flows throughout the spring, and in the summer and early fall scattered pools of water remain in the creek bed. In drought years, when the creek-bed is dry, you can usually find pools of water about a half mile upstream. Camp elevation 1,200 feet. Picnic table only near site #3. Outhouse yes, on Poverty Flat road, across from site #4. Number of sites 5, for groups of 1-8 people.
