Experience the mountains and waterways while camping near Meeker.
A journey on the Flat Tops Scenic Byway gives you a taste of the landscapes of Northwest Colorado, where rugged cliffs rise from scraggly grasslands and lush valleys surround the waterways. The town of Meeker is a relaxed spot on the banks of the White River. Public lands offer serene spots to enjoy a full menu of outdoor activities, including hiking, biking, and paddling. Stop at Trappers Lake to experience the “Cradle of Wilderness.” Considered the birthplace of America’s wilderness movement, these waters offer world-class fishing. Across the region, cabins, unique glamping getaways, and tent and RV campsites offer a combination of comfort and views, whether you prefer lush forests, open meadows, mountain panoramas, or waterfront perches. Five campgrounds dot the shores of a 350-acre lake at Rifle Gap State Park. Or, venture into White River National Forest or Routt National Forest to find dispersed camping and primitive campgrounds.
