China Meadows Campground

Nestled on the northern slope of the stunning Uinta Mountains, China Meadows Campground offers a rugged, high-altitude escape at 9,407 feet. This federal campground provides a serene basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the Rocky Mountain wilderness. The area is defined by its scenic alpine terrain, making it a premier destination for those who appreciate quiet, natural surroundings and direct access to expansive backcountry trails.

Recreational opportunities abound, with the nearby China Meadows Trailhead serving as a gateway for hikers, horseback riders, and mountain bikers heading into the High Uintas. Visitors can spend their days fishing or canoeing in the surrounding waters, or exploring the network of trails that crisscross the landscape. The campground is well-suited for tent campers and those seeking a traditional, off-grid experience, as the site offers nine individual campsites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings.

Facilities at China Meadows are basic, featuring vault toilets and access to water. As a primitive, fee-based location, it is ideal for campers who are comfortable with a moderate experience level and prefer a rustic stay. Whether you are looking to conquer local peaks or simply enjoy the crisp mountain air, this USFS-managed site provides an authentic connection to Wyoming’s great outdoors.
