Description

Meadow Lake Campground sits near the shores of the lake. Buckle up! The road getting in is pretty rough and not accessible for large trailers and campers. There is an informal boat ramp on the lake, but strong afternoon winds often make it difficult to navigate kayaks and canoes—are you up for the challenge? There are also off-highway vehicle trails nearby.
