Meadow Lake Campground

Meadow Lake Campground offers 15 rustic campsites at 7,500 feet elevation with picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets on the shores of Meadow Lake in Tahoe National Forest.

The campground features an informal boat launch for motorized and non-motorized watercraft, making it accessible for paddlers and anglers, though potable water is not available and campers must bring their own water.

Access requires traveling rough, unpaved roads for the final miles, and the campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis ($15/night) from July 1 through early fall due to heavy winter snow.
