About
Meeks Cabin Campground occupies a scenic single-loop layout on the shores of Meeks Cabin Reservoir, straddling the Utah-Wyoming border at 8,700 feet in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The 470-acre reservoir supports fishing and motorized/non-motorized boating, with lake access from the campground and a boat ramp near the dam. The campground offers 24 single sites and 5 double sites, all first-come, first-served with no advance reservations available. Sites vary in size, with some accommodating vehicles up to 65 feet. Pine and aspen provide shade throughout the loop. Vault toilets are available during the operating season, but potable water is not available and campers must bring their own supply. Popular activities include fishing at the reservoir, wildlife viewing, and mountain biking on nearby trails. A 14-day stay limit applies, and quiet hours are enforced from 10 PM to 7 AM. ATVs are not permitted on the highway unless licensed.
