Not currently taking reservations due to past winter storm damage. Open year-round except when weather or safety conditions require a closure. Reservations can be made up to one month in advance. All sites are reservation only. Campers can hear the rushing Middle Fork of the Kaweah River from most sites. Due to high temperatures and dry conditions, fire restrictions are often in effect here. The Paradise Creek Trail departs from the campground, and the Middle Fork Trail is located nearby.
Buckeye Flat Campground is generally open from late March to late September, depending on weather conditions. Gates open or close at noon on campground opening and closing dates.
This campground is at 2,800 feet (843 m). Summers are usually hot and dry, and winters are cool and rainy. Snow is unlikely, but possible when the campground opens in early spring.
