Middle Meadows Campground offers a quiet place to camp, far from the hustle and bustle of city life. The campground is isolated from other campgrounds and offers a variety of recreational activities in its vicinity. Its scenic location also provides for beautiful sightseeing, birding and wildlife viewing.
Campers at Middle Meadows enjoy a forested setting and close access to a flowing creek, making it an ideal spot for family trips. Hell Hole Reservoir, located less than 5 miles from the campground, offers a variety of water-related recreation opportunities, including boating and fishing. There is a swimming hole that is located just west of Middle Meadows Group Campground about 0.25 miles.
The campground offers two walk-in group campsites. The sites can accommodate up to 25 and 50 guests respectively. Each site is equipped with tables, campfire circles and grills. Vault and portable toilets are provided. Bear proof food containers and garbage receptacles are provided at each camp site. Currently, potable water is not available due to contamination problems. Please bring drinking water, containers or water filters. Potable water is available from faucets at Big Meadows Campground, which is located 2.5 miles northeast of Middle Meadows Group Campground.
Middle Meadows is located along the South Fork of Long Canyon Creek with a heavily wooded surrounding. Forests include large cedar, pine and fir trees and shrubs. Although the campground has a primitive, undiscovered feel to it, the serene mountain landscape is well worth the long drive from civilization.
Middle Meadows is located adjacent to Long Canyon Creek for fishing and wading. Hell Hole Reservoir is a short drive north. A boat ramp is available at the reservoir.
22 miles east of Georgetown on Wentworth Springs Road and 25 miles northeast on Forest Highway 2.
The toilets were locked and unusable (and we had to use port o potties), the water system is broken, the forest surrounding the campground is still burnt from the forest fires, and there were a lot of mosquitos.
Terrible campground. Mosquitos, bears, snakes, too many logging roads to get lost one (happened to one of our friends and some local hunters towed him out), water turned off/unsafe to drink. Bear pies in the camp area. Also, desolate and far and easy to get lost on the way. Do NOT choose this campsite.
Yes there are flies and mosquitoes... it's the forest. Beautiful spot, remote, loved it
Quiet and secluded. Last year had water turned off for repairs, but it was still an excellent campground. There is a local swimming hole the very friendly park rangers pointed out. It is easy to get lost on your way to the site, so be prepared with a printed map, as cell reception is very spotty.
Nice campsite rear the creek and close to the Reservoir that good for boat
