About this campground
Jackson Point Campground is a boat-in only campground located on the east side of Jackson Meadow Reservoir, approximately 1/2 mile southwest of the Pass Creek Boat ramp. Jackson Meadow Reservoir is a gorgeous high elevation lake with good fishing. Part of the Pacific Crest Trail passes along the east side of the reservoir. Snow pack determines when the campground opens. The only water source is from the reservoir - purify before drinking.
