Shields Flat

About this site

Shields Flat is a first-come, first-served camping area in California with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. No potable water is available; campers must bring their own or purify water from nearby sources. There are no trash receptacles, so visitors must pack out their garbage. The camping area is open year-round, with the best time to visit in spring and fall when weather is pleasant and wildflowers are in bloom. Wildlife such as bears inhabit the area, so proper food storage and trash disposal are essential. Poison oak can be found in some parts of the campground; stay on designated paths and wear protective clothing.
