Pass Creek Campground

Pass Creek Campground is located on the northeast shore of Jackson Meadow Reservoir and provides a wide range of recreational activities including boating, canoeing, water skiing, swimming, fishing, hiking and hunting. Anglers will find rainbow and brown trout. Visitors are awarded beautiful views of the Sierra Crest and English Mountain. The campground lies in a dense stand of pine and fir trees. A designated swim beach is nearby. Utility hookups, showers and telephone service are not available at this location. The campground offers several single-family campsites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. This facility is operated and maintained by the Nevada Irrigation District.
