Coyote Group Campground

How often do you find a group camping destination that combines utter seclusion, breathtaking alpine scenery, and proximity to premier outdoor adventures? Coyote Group Campground, situated on the northeastern shore of French Meadows Reservoir in Tahoe National Forest, defies expectations with its blend of remoteness, natural beauty, and group-friendly amenities.

Designed specifically for larger gatherings, this campground features four group sites—each equipped with picnic tables, cooking grills, campfire circles with benches, and ample space for tents or RVs. The Black Bear site also includes a flush restroom for enhanced accessibility, while other sites are outfitted with vaulted toilets and reliable piped water. Enveloped by a serene coniferous forest, the campground offers a rustic yet functional setting for events ranging from family reunions to outdoor retreats.

Just a short drive away, the Granite Chief Wilderness and Western States Trail captivate hikers and adventurers, offering trails that wind through aspen groves and secluded mountain passes. French Meadows Reservoir itself invites visitors to enjoy fishing, boating, and swimming, while the nearby Middle Fork of the American River provides additional opportunities for angling and exploration. With its tranquil atmosphere and strategic location, Coyote Group Campground is a standout choice for memorable group camping experiences.
