About this campground
Lloyd Meadow Road (22S82) begins near Johnsondale. This popular area provides the earliest spring access to the Golden Trout Wilderness and the only access to the North Fork of the Kern Wild and Scenic River “Forks Run,” a world renowned series of class IV and V rapids (for experienced paddlers only). Dispersed camping (no developed facilities) is very popular. Lower Peppermint Campground provides the only camping facilities.
