About

Meadow Lake Campground is a small, rustic campground situated 35 miles north of New Castle in the White River National Forest. The 10 campsites accommodate tent camping and small trailers with parking spurs up to 16 feet in length. All sites are first-come, first-served with no advance reservations available. Facilities include picnic tables, fire grates, trash disposal, secure food storage, and an accessible vault toilet. Campers must bring their own drinking water as no potable water is available on site. Several sites are designated as handicap accessible. The campground sits just north of Meadow Lake in an area popular for fishing, hunting, and OHV riding. It serves as an excellent staging area for accessing numerous non-motorized trails in the southwest Flat Tops. The adjacent Meadow Lake Picnic Area, featuring a dock and boat launch, is free to use for campground guests.
