French Meadows Campground is on the south shore of French Meadows Reservoir. It is in a coniferous forest, but it is also right on the waterfront with access to the beaches. This area is close to the popular Granite Chief Wilderness but less crowded. Later in the season, visitors are suggested to bring their own water. This campground also features flush and vault toilets.

This site can be reserved by calling 1-877-444-6777 or at recreation.gov
