Hemlock Meadows Campground
Hemlock Meadows provides unique combination of isolation and amenities, with ample access to nearby wilderness areas and scenic destinations. Four campsites form the south edge of Yellowjacket Glade, a roadless area known for its populations of elk, sooty grouse, black bear, and black-tailed deer. Hemlock Lake offers fishing and swimming, and visitors can use a boat launch with its own parking located at the edge of the campground. Note: there is no drinking water available at this campground. However, visitors may use the taps at nearby Hemlock Lake Campground.
