About this campground

Hanna Flat Campground near Fawnskin CA is a family-friendly facility nestled in the pine-covered mountains of Southern California. It offers access to a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities and a beautiful location to enjoy nature.

The campground offers over 80 single-family sites for tent or RV camping. Some sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Each site is equipped with a table and campfire ring with grill. Firewood is available for purchase. Vault toilets and trash collection are provided, but no hookups are available. A dump station is available at nearby Serrano Campground. A portion of the road to the campground is rough dirt, but within the campground, the roads are paved.

The campground is located off the Rim of the World Scenic Byway in the San Bernardino Mountains. A dense pine forest covers the area, where portions of the campground are heavily shaded. Some sites offer more privacy due to thick shrub growth. The area is home to a variety of wildlife and birds.

A number of hiking and biking trails are nearby, including 3.5-mile Gray's Peak Trail that connects to Hanna Flat Trail, and 10 miles of unmarked trails that lead to Coxcomb Creek. Fishing and boating at nearby Big Bear Lake are popular activities. Anglers can look forward to a catch of trout, bluegill, crappie, catfish and largemouth bass. Because of cold water temperatures and the presence of underwater obstacles near the shorelines, swimming at the lake is often discouraged.

What campers say

Well-maintained, largely clean campground near Big Bear Lake that consistently receives praise for helpful camp hosts and tidy sites. Campsites are spacious and feature metal food storage boxes for wildlife safety; trails and nearby OHV opportunities draw hikers, bikers and 4x4 groups. Practical tradeoffs: the access road includes an unpaved, rough stretch and some sites have only vault toilets, outdoor spigots and no showers — true backcountry-style facilities. Nights are generally quiet with abundant bird and wildlife activity. Reservations are supported but several first-come sites exist; visitors should plan for rustic amenities and variable road conditions.
