PCT/Kennedy Meadows Access

PCT/Kennedy Meadows Access is a remote trailhead and campground located along the Pacific Crest Trail near the South Fork Kern River in the Kern Plateau region, serving as a critical resupply point for PCT thru-hikers entering the Sierra Nevada.

The area offers 37 campsites (first-come, first-served, no fee), vault toilets, and nearby services including a general store, restaurant, and laundry facilities at Kennedy Meadows community, though potable water is not available at the campground itself.

Access is via Nine Mile Canyon Road from Highway 395 or Sherman Pass Road from the west, with the site open year-round though snow may occasionally close roads during winter months.
