27 miles Northeast of Foresthill on Foresthill divide Road
Hikers and equestrians who can self-supply everything do well here. The Western States Trail leaves directly from camp, the equestrian aprons (17' x 52') handle portable corrals comfortably, and fall brings stable weather with almost no competition for the 14 sites.
No potable water on-site, pack-out trash only, bugs are relentless in warmer months, and the narrow winding road rules out trailers. Confirm the campground is open before driving 27 miles from Foresthill since hazardous-tree closures have happened before.

<p>Robinson Flat Campground is a high Sierra campground near a beautiful meadow and stream. </p><p>7 family sites and 7 equestrian sites located 27 miles northeast of Foresthill at an elevation of 6,800 feet. This campground has vault toilets and a hand pump well nearby. There is no trash removal service so pack out what you pack in. The road to the campground is narrow and winding so trailers are not recommended. This campground is located on the Western States Trail.</p>
The elevation is 6,700 ft. This picturesque campground has two sections - family campsites to the left of campground's entrance and equestrian to the right. The family section is one loop and a spur in a dense grove of fir trees. The equestrian section stretches up an incline and has campground's only pull-through. Campsites in this section, although tucked in among large fir trees, are more open and large to accommodate portable corrals. No equestrian facilities are provided. Between the two sections is a pretty little meadow used by Native American Indians for hundreds of years. Then, along came the white man who built a Ranger District Office in 1911 (now uninhabited). The buildings are being preserved, but will soon need help - tread softly. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.

The campground is accessible May through November, conditions permitting. Fall delivers the most stable weather and lightest crowds, with daytime highs in the mid-40s to low 70s°F and nights dropping into the 20s–40s°F. Trails dry out after summer, and late-season light illuminates the granite-and-forest landscape. Early season visitors may encounter frost and lingering snow in shaded areas. Summer brings warm days but keeps the mountain's natural chill at night. Bring warm layers for mornings and evenings year-round.
Fall delivers the most stable weather and lightest crowds per overview and reviews.
