Great Meadow Sno-Park

3 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

A sno-park repurposed as a dispersed camping area in summer, Great Meadow sits in Winema National Forest next to the road, which means road noise is a real factor. The lot overlooks a meadow, bugs can be heavy at dusk, and the vault toilets are on-site but have been closed during past seasons. Campers who want more separation from the parking area can drive down the adjacent bike trail to camp further from the highway. Rainbow Bay is roughly a mile away for those wanting a more developed setup.

This is a free parking area rather than a traditional campground, offering basic overnight parking with trail access. Visitors appreciated the meadow views and trail opportunities, though road proximity and bugs were noted concerns.

Just a large empty lot with bike trail access

There’s nothing here except the highway but you can drive down the bike trail and stay there as well, just so your further away from the lot and the road.

Not bad for a free site

We ended up here because we couldn’t get a spot at any of the campgrounds nearby. Sounds like that’s a pretty common problem in the area, so I would recommend it in a pinch. PROS: free, plenty of space, overlooks a pretty meadow, nice trail CONS: next to the road, felt a little exposed, extremely buggy at dusk

Know before you go: this is not a campground. In the summer, back country ski / snow sport parking lots are open for free overnight parking. There are vault toilets bout they were closed due to COVID.
