Within the Bureau of Land Management's White River Field Office, Meeker Trails provides camping access on open terrain near the river. This established campground operates under a no-pets policy, which campers should factor into their planning. The location sits on BLM land east of town, offering a different setting from more developed campgrounds around Meeker in the immediate area. River proximity adds water access to the camping experience, while the open terrain provides unobstructed views across the landscape.
Description
The town of Meeker is largely an agricultural community, located in the wide fertile valley of the White River in northwestern Colorado. Relatively isolated from other communities, it sits near the intersection of State Highway 13 and State Highway 64, on the north side of the White River and at the base of a long ridge, known locally as China Wall. Some of the trails go along this ridge. There are 11 miles of single track trails that are open to hiking and biking. The trail system incorporates a number of new and existing trails developed by the local community and agencies. The surrounding area offers more recreational opportunities including high quality hunting and access to large and remote wilderness areas. For more information, please contact the White River Field Office.
