Red Meadow Lake

One of my favorite spots to camp! Been here a few times while bikepacking in the area. There are a few primitive campsites near the lake. Sites include two bear boxes and a vault toilet. Bring your own water and/or water filter. There can be a lot of mosquitos in the summer so be prepared!

Great place. There are 4 lakeside locations and 2 just back a bit. You can boondock here. Elevation is 5500 ish. Beautiful and first come first serve.

The road up is rough but it’s worth it. We had two individuals with travel trailers and a truck camper. We sent the guy with the truck camper ahead to scope it out because we got nervous. However, when we got up there, it was absolutely gorgeous! There’s about 5-6 actual spots, but we used the parking lot because the spots were too covered with snow and too small. Theres one spot with a beautiful view, but the others are about 100yds from the lake. The water is absolutely gorgeous and clear. We didn’t find any hiking trails though.
