When hiking by here it is useful to get trail information updates and check in with the ranger, if present. Camping and cabins at Bear Paw Meadows is a bit too early along the High Sierra Trail, except if arriving in the afternoon with only a couple of hours remaining.

Big Arroyo Junction is a popular backcountry camping area along the High Sierra Trail, located about 20 miles from Crescent Meadow and just beyond Kaweah Gap (10,700 feet). Situated at 9,100 feet, this site offers flat, well-established campsites near Big Arroyo Creek, making it a good place to stop for the night after the challenging climb over Kaweah Gap. There are no amenities, but hikers will find ample tent space, reliable water sources from the creek (which must be filtered or treated), and bear boxes for food storage. The area is surrounded by granite landscapes and subalpine meadows, and there is a cool old log cabin near by to check out. If you are unable to reach this spot by Big Arroyo Junction, there are many other established backcountry sites back along the trail on Big Arroyo Creek after Kaweah Gap. These sites offer good alternatives for camping and allow for more flexibility in daily mileage, especially for hikers adjusting to the high elevation, or for those who simply want more time on this amazing trail!

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.

Tharps's Log is a hollowed giant sequoia that was used as a shelter by early explorers in the area. The log is named after Hale D. Tharp, who is the first non-Native American to enter the forest.
