Meadows Campground (CO)

Nestled high on Rabbit Ears Pass at an elevation of 9,285 feet, Meadows Campground offers a quintessential Rocky Mountain experience. Surrounded by a lush canopy of spruce, fir, and lodgepole pine, this USFS-managed site places you near the Continental Divide in the beautiful Park Range. The landscape provides a serene backdrop for those looking to immerse themselves in nature, with easy access to regional hiking trails, mountain biking paths, and prime stream fishing spots.

This is a primitive, no-hookup campground, making it an ideal destination for self-sufficient campers who prefer a rustic outdoor experience. The site features 30 individual campsites, including a mix of pull-through, back-in, and walk-in tent options to accommodate various setups. Basic amenities are limited to vault toilets, ensuring that the focus remains on the surrounding wilderness rather than modern luxuries.

Because of its remote and rugged nature, Meadows Campground is best suited for tent campers and experienced RV travelers who are well-prepared for high-altitude conditions. Whether you are visiting for a summer wildflower hike or a quiet mountain retreat, this site provides a peaceful, year-round basecamp for exploring the high country.
