Fish Creek Campground – July 3-5, 2026

FISH CREEK CAMPGROUND (KENNEDY MEADOWS) — July 3–5, 2026

Cool mountain air, alpine meadows, rivers, and star-filled skies. We’ll be heading up to the beautiful Fish Creek Campground, just past Kennedy Meadows, for a relaxed summer camping trip in the Sierra.
This area sits high in the mountains and is surrounded by forest, meadows, and streams. It’s a great place to escape the summer heat, explore the outdoors, and enjoy a weekend in nature.
Fish Creek Campground has basic amenities, but plan to be self-sufficient and bring everything you need for the weekend.

Access: The roads are paved most of the way, with some mountain driving toward the campground. You are coming at your own risk. Please do your own research to ensure you can make it up there.

Warning!!!!!
As of now (March 2026) the campsite is closed, however this wil llikely change closer we get to the meetup date. If that is not the case, we will change the campsite location to Kennedy Meadows.
