Overgrown grass covers most campsites at this US Forest Service campground, where access requires high-clearance or four-wheel-drive vehicles due to deteriorated road conditions. The forest service road leading to Table Meadows features significant potholes that can damage trailers and low-clearance vehicles, making tent camping the most practical option for current conditions.
Located within Nezperce National Forest near the Red River, the campground sits in open terrain with basic toilet facilities and allows alcohol. The no-pets policy restricts some camping groups. Campers can access sites by driving, hiking, or walking in depending on vehicle capability and road conditions. Newsome sits 3 miles south for those seeking better road access and maintained facilities.
Description
Situated in a popular big game hunting area, Table Meadows Campground offers two toilets, two stock feeding bunks, a loading ramp, hitching rail and six camp pads. The West Fork of the American River flows through the campground.
