    Tips

    February 20, 2025

    Camping at Bearpaw Meadow offers one of the most scenic and cushiest overnight stops along the High Sierra Trail. Located about 11.5 miles from Crescent Meadow, it is a popular first night destination. Sitting at at 7,800 feet, Bearpaw Meadow Camp offers two camping options: First, the Bearpaw Meadow Campground, which is a more "standard" backcountry campsite with established tent sites, a bear box for food storage, and access to shared water spigot, which must be boiled or treated before drinking. Due to its popularity, securing a spot early in the day is recommended, especially during peak season (July–September). The second camping option here is the Bearpaw High Sierra Camp, which is a privately operated camp featuring canvas tent cabins, hot meals, and comfortable beds. You need to make reservations for this glamping-style campsite, which is also a little pricey.
      At this junction of High Sierra Trail a smaller trail branches west to Bearpaw Meadow Backpackers Camp, while the full-service Bearpaw Meadow High Sierra Camp with the little store and office are straight ahead
