French Meadows Campground
French Meadows Campground
French Meadows Campground sits on the south shore of French Meadows Reservoir with 63 redesigned campsites in a pine/fir forest, offering a concrete boat ramp adjacent to the campground for easy water access and excellent opportunities for boating, swimming, and fishing.
Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and bear box, with flush and vault toilets and drinking water available throughout the campground.
Note: The campground is extremely remote (36 miles from Foresthill with no services), requires high-clearance vehicles for some access routes, has no cell phone coverage, and was closed for 2025 facility upgrades—verify current status before visiting.
