About this campground

Fence Meadow Camping Area

Fence Meadow Camping Area in California offers dispersed camping with a few primitive, undeveloped campsites—no reservations or fees required, but a free wilderness permit is needed for nearby trail access. Amenities are minimal: no toilets, water, picnic tables, or hookups; fire rings may be found but are not guaranteed, and seasonal fire restrictions often apply. Tucked in a remote, forested setting within Sierra National Forest, it’s a quiet basecamp for hikers accessing Dinkey Lakes Wilderness via the Cliff Lake Trailhead. Best visited June through October for clear trails and milder weather, the area provides a back-to-nature vibe ideal for solitude seekers and backpackers. RVs not recommended.
