From Mountain View, WY, take State Rt. 410 south 6.5 miles to Wasatch National Forest sign. Continue straight at this sign onto an oil and gravel road and go 18.5 miles to "campground" sign at a "Y" intersection. Bear left at intersection and go 0.7 miles, past China Meadows campground, to "Trailhead" campground. NOTE: In 8.6 miles, after passing the forest sign, the road becomes Forest Rt. 072. The road surface then becomes gravel and dirt and rough in places. There is no consistency in the campground signs. One says "Trailhead" and another says "China Meadows Trailhead." Whatever, the official name of the campground is the latter.
Beautiful. Muddy trail in many parts. Super friendly horseback forest service crew. Not much to get into once you're at camp. Fishing was pretty bad. Didn't really cross any mosquitoes. But I mean... backpacking and gorgeous views! Can't ask for much more. I'm sure time of year is everything out here.
Really nice area on the north face of the Uintas. Try it out for a much less crowded, more primitive camping experience.
Nice campground. Nice secluded feeling at night. Anyone with a large RV I would advise caution in staying in this campground as the loop around it is narrow and difficult to maneuver. I have a 19’ trailer and damaged it on a tree and a boulder on the ground. This campground is very lightly used but really well maintained. Kudos to the cleaners of the outhouse, very clean!! Very beautiful location at a high elevation for nice cool nights.
Always a great place to visit. However the trash left behind the past few years is very saddening.
