About this campground
Chris Flat Campground near Coleville California is a USFS campground offering primitive tent and RV camping adjacent to US 395 and the West Walker River. Immediately adjacent to the highway campers trade off road noise with views of the scenic river within a rock throw from camp. Paved roads and site pads are relatively large but due to tight turnarounds best suited to RVs smaller than 30 feet. Public parking areas are also available in the campground for anglers. Run by concessionaire. No cell service is available. Water faucets and toilets available.
What campers say
Chris Flat Campground is a small, well-kept riverside site on US-395 with close access to the Walker River and good trout fishing. Sites are shaded in places, roughly a dozen in total, with basic amenities such as vault toilets, potable water, and attentive campground hosts; parking is long enough for large rigs. Typical fees are around $20 with a senior discount available. A notable tradeoff is proximity to the highway: headlights and traffic noise can be intrusive for some sites, while riverside spots tend to be quieter. Seasonal closures and fire-season restrictions have occurred.
