About
Meadows Campground is a scenic high-elevation campground located on Rabbit Ears Pass in the Routt National Forest, just 15 miles southeast of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. At 9,300 feet elevation near the Continental Divide in the Park Range, the campground is surrounded by spruce, fir, and lodgepole pine forest. The campground offers 30 sites with a mix of pull-through, back-in, and walk-in tent sites. Each site includes a fire grate and picnic table. Five vault toilets serve the campground and garbage services are provided. Potable water is not available, so campers must bring their own supply. Recreational opportunities include stream fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Established Forest Service trails are accessible nearby from the road to Dumont Lake Campground via Forest Road 315. Wildlife in the area includes black bear, elk, mule deer, and moose. The campground has a 14-day stay limit.
Directions
From Steamboat Springs, travel 15 miles southeast on US Highway 40 to Rabbit Ears Pass. The campground is on the south side of the highway on Forest Road 297 near the west summit of the pass.
