Coyote Group in CA -- Campground & RV Camping

Coyote Group Campground sits in a coniferous forest at 5,200 feet near the Middle Fork American River and the northeast end of French Meadows Reservoir, roughly 40 miles from Foresthill. The facility offers four group sites: the accessible Black Bear site for 50 people, and three 25-person sites. Campers have access to picnic tables, campfire circles, grills, vault toilets, and drinking water.
