Kennedy Meadows Campground is a remote, no-fee campground at 6,100 feet elevation with 37 sites situated along the South Fork Kern River and Pacific Crest Trail, offering vault toilets and picnic tables but no potable water or trash service.

Access is via Nine Mile Canyon Road from Highway 395 near Pearsonville, and the campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis with a 14-day maximum stay; note that snow often closes road access November through March, though foot and ski access remains available.

This location is popular with PCT hikers and offers nearby fishing opportunities, but visitors should plan ahead as there is no cell service and the nearest supplies are 3 miles away.
