McGee Creek Access provides entry to the John Muir Wilderness via a paved trailhead with improved parking and campground facilities located 2 miles up McGee Creek Road from Highway 395.

The trailhead serves as the primary access point for hiking and horseback riding into McGee Canyon, with the McGee Creek Campground offering 28 reservable campsites nearby at 7,600 feet elevation.

McGee Creek itself offers fishing opportunities and flows alongside the campground, with some sites situated directly on the water.
