Jackson Creek Campground
Jackson Creek Campground
Jackson Creek Campground is a remote, primitive 14-site campground at 5,600 feet elevation in Tahoe National Forest, accessible only via a very rough, rocky, one-lane road that requires high-clearance vehicles.
The campground offers vault toilets, bear-proof food lockers, picnic tables, and fire rings, with stream water available (must be purified), and operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees.
Nearby Bowman Lake provides water recreation opportunities, while the campground serves as a base for hiking, backpacking, fishing, and mountain biking in the surrounding mixed conifer forest.
