About this campground

What campers say

Tanners Flat Campground offers a modern, well-kept riverside camping experience with paved access, running water, and generally clean restrooms. Many sites are shaded and feel secluded among aspens and evergreens, with several loops backing onto a fast-moving creek that provides soothing background noise and a fun feature for kids. Hosts are repeatedly described as friendly, attentive, and helpful. Practical tradeoffs include narrow, tight internal roads and corners that can make maneuvering long bumper-pull trailers difficult, and occasional road noise from vehicles. Flush toilets have been out for short periods for repairs, so reservations and flexibility are recommended.
