The numbers that decide it

Recreation.gov publishes no site-level detail for this campground, so we cannot say what length of rig it takes. Call the managing office before committing to it in a large vehicle.

Big Meadow Lake Campground

This campground is equipped with tent/trailer sites, interpretive trails, boat launch, and a nice fishing dock. Some campsites are private and some with a lake view. This campground is good for wildlife viewing especially around the lake. A short paved walk out to a lookout viewing platform affords great views of the lake. Nearby is the Hess Homestead Cabin which is day use only, first come first serve.
