ADVENTURE AWAITS!
Kennedy Meadows is the 700 mile marker from the southern most point of the Pacific Crest Trail and the gateway to the California Eastern Sierra. If you’re passing through the meadow, Grumpy Bear’s Retreat has the basic needs to recharge before you start across the Eastern Sierra. We offer hot showers, laundry facilities, dry camping, cabins, yurts, trailers and we’ll accept your hiker resupply boxes free of charge!
There are many opportunities available for all kinds of outdoor sports including off-roading, hunting, fishing and hiking. Kennedy Meadows hosts adventure seekers trekking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), which starts in Mexico and ends in Canada. Grumpy Bear’s has been a Kennedy Meadows institution for more than 50 years serving food for weary hikers, hungry hunters and fishermen. Enjoy hearty breakfasts, juicy hamburgers and milk shakes to keep you going on your adventures. We also have vegan/vegetarian options.

HIKER AMENITIES
Showers
Bathing every few days (if you’re lucky) is simply not enough when you are on that dusty trail. Sometimes you just need to grab a nice hot shower. Our continuous on-demand water heaters will make sure you have plenty of hot water for a refreshing break. We’ll provide you with soap, shampoo and a fresh clean towel.
Laundry
We all love mother nature and don’t mind a bit of dirt on our clothes, but let’s be honest, it’s really nice to put on fresh clean clothes once in a while. Throw those pants, that can probably walk themselves by now, into one of our two washing machines and let those miles melt off. We can provide laundry detergent and plenty of fresh air to let them dry in the crisp mountain air.
Camping
You may need a few nights rest before starting up the PCT. Maybe you just arrived at the 700 mile mark, or just came off the trail and are looking for a place to setup your tent. We have free camping and we also have a cabin, yurts and trailers for rent.
Pool
Beat the heat and take a dip in our pool to let the tension melt away in the refreshing water and clean mountain air!
