White River National Forest's East Marvine Campground sits near the trailheads for the East Marvine Trail and Marvine Trail, both of which lead into the Flat Tops Wilderness. The campground has just seven sites, with Site 1 configured as a pull-through near the restrooms and a maximum RV length of 50 feet. Horse trailers are a common sight here, as the area draws pack trips into the wilderness. Neighboring Marvine Campground is 0.3 miles away, and the two campgrounds together give anglers and equestrians a practical base for exploring the area. The campground is open late May through late October, with drinking water, fire rings, and pet-friendly sites. Those planning a trip can find campgrounds outside Meeker to compare options before heading up into the forest.
