Big Meadow Lake Campground

Editing 2021 to add: I've now visited multiple times in every season and this place never gets old. If you visit in the summer make sure you're prepared for the mosquitos; fall is my preferred time to visit. The campground is also accessible in the winter! Hiking, birdwatching, canoeing, fishing, camping...very peaceful! I don't recommend swimming though, as there are leeches in the lake. Nice free campsites with picnic tables and fire rings. Outhouses available but no running water or trash service, so BYOB and pack everything out There's a short walk to a lookout tower that's really nice in the evening. There is also a really cool primitive cabin accessible by road or a short hike if you want to camp there as well.

Love camping here great scenery, lots of wildlife to view. Bring your own water as lake water is fairly dirty with Moose and cow dung. lake is shallow mostly one big weed bed, great to kayak around view wildlife. As of August 2024 the Lookout tower has been boarded up and closed by Forest Service.

Did some winter camping. Good little lake!

Nice campground great view from the fire tower.

Absolutely beautiful. Nice trails even a wheelchair accessible one and sights that are wheelchair accessible! Nice safe fire pits. Camp host is super great even after we accidentally broke the handle on his ax. He brought us lots of chopped wood everyday! Let us know where really cool places to hike were. Absolutely loved it!!!
