Meadows Campground

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Okanogan National Forest's high-country terrain surrounds Meadows Campground, a Forest Service site above Hart's Pass that sits open to the sky and remains snow-covered into July. The road in is steep, unpaved, and has no guardrails, so drivers unfamiliar with rough mountain access should plan accordingly. Snow can linger late. Sites accommodate tents, truck campers, and vans, with picnic tables, toilets, and campfire rings on hand. Pets are welcome. Harts Pass Campground sits less than a mile north for campers who want a nearby alternative, and campsites near Okanogan National Forest cover a wider range of access and elevation options across the region.

Fabulous Alpine Destination

While the road up Hart’s Pass isn’t for timid drivers, if you’re used to old mining or poorly maintained steep forest roads with no guard rails-you’ll likely enjoy the trip. Once here you’ll find a variety of tent, truck/camper, van sites with epic night sky and hiking options.

Beautiful views

Snowy, even in July. A bit of a journey beyond Harts Pass.
