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. Facilities • 4 dispersed campsites with picnic tables and fire pits • Boat launch • Vault toilet • No drinking water • No garbage disposal - Please pack it out
