No sites offered for these datesA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
East Meadow Campground sits on the northeastern shore of Jackson Meadow Reservoir, a roughly 1,000-acre lake tucked into a rolling valley of pine and fir where the Sierra Crest and English Mountain rise on the horizon. The water is the immediate draw: the reservoir supports boating, canoeing, water skiing and a designated swim beach nearby, while anglers target rainbow and brown trout (a concrete boat ramp is at neighboring Pass Creek Campground and boats can be moored near some sites).












Length limits vary by campsite.
Dump station on site.

“Beautiful campground with a very nice host. Location is incredible. Found some amazing places when walking around. Will definitely be coming back here. ”
“We were very disappointed that we could not have a campfire & the only reason was our camp had no host. It rained the whole week we were their. The neighboring host could have also been at our camp also.”

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.
Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (7,694 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
43 individual reservable campsites from Recreation.gov, checked Nov 8. Rates are the listed nightly rates.
