About
Meadow Camp Campground sits along Meadow Valley Creek in Plumas National Forest, offering 6 improved dispersed campsites surrounded by native grass meadow, mixed pine, and red oak forest. Sites 1-3 are designated for equestrian use with ample space for horse trailers, though no corrals or water troughs are provided. The campground serves as a basecamp for OHV and equestrian enthusiasts, with miles of forest roads and trails accessible directly from the entrance. Streamside sites provide views of both Spanish Peak and Meadow Valley. Amenities are limited to vault toilets, fire pits, and picnic tables; campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash. The campground operates first-come, first-served at $15 per night, with a 14-day stay limit. Payment is via cash/check at the fee envelope station or daily QR code scan through the Recreation.gov app. A campfire permit is required when fires are allowed.
