Jackass Meadow Campground

Surrounded by the craggy peaks of the John Muir Wilderness, Jackass Meadow Campground is situated below Florence Lake on the San Joaquin River. Campsites are shaded by a stand of Aspen and Lodgepole pine and each campsite has a table, fire ring and grill. Bear-proof food lockers, water and accessible vault toilets are provided. The South Fork of the San Joaquin runs through the campground. Most of the recreation opportunities here can be found in and around Florence Lake. There is a boat ramp and boat rentals at the Florence Lake Store. Paved and dirt roads provided access to the campground and large RV’s are not recommended on Kaiser Pass Road.
