Bear Wallow Camping Area is a free, dispersed campground located on a large sandy flat along the north side of the Kings River in Sierra National Forest, accessible about 2. 5 miles up Garnet Dike Road from Bailey Bridge (2 hours from Fresno).

The site offers basic amenities including restrooms but no potable water, with a 14-day maximum stay and no cell phone coverage; it's ideal for spring and fall camping but extremely hot in summer.

The Bear Wallow trail for day hiking is located just west of the campground, and the sandy riverside location provides direct access to the Kings River for paddling and fishing activities.
