Mosquitos are thick and only 40% Deet works.

Nice location for visiting Steamboat and surrounding area. Zero tv reception and very poor cell service but the campground was clean and quiet. Some sites are reservable and some first come. Beautiful meadow and Mountain View’s and we saw deer a few times.

This was a nice campground and while we were there through the Fourth of July celebration, it was quiet and peaceful!
PROs:
* Sites in both loops were spaced away from each other for some privacy;
* Sites of different sizes with maybe 1/2 that were level;
* Lots of vault toilets around the loops and a large dumpster for trash deposal at the entrance;
* At our site, we had enough sun during the day for our solar panels;
* No camp host while we were there so no generator noise as noted in other reveiws;
* Cool short hike from campground and beautiful meadows to walk and enjoy;
* Close to Steamboat Springs (10-12 miles);
* Had good Verizon coverage for our unlimited data jetpack;
* $5 a night was due to my lifetime senior national part pass.
CONs:
* The only thing we can note is that the campground is on US14 so road noise is noticable during the day but it decreased at night.

We really enjoyed this camping experience. The campground was pretty and had a cute nature trail that goes maybe 1/2 mile into the meadow. I foraged tons of huckleberries!

We were directly next to the camp host which would have been fine except he ran his generator for hours at a time. It was a bummer to sit out by the bonfire and hear that thing going. Otherwise a good experience!
Verizon service was spotty. We could get texts but that’s it.

We happened upon this campsite and managed to snag the last spot on a Saturday two days before Labor Day! I loved everything about it. The sites are spacious and seemed to have a decent amount of privacy (ours did on one side and the other neighbor was far away). Our view was a huge meadow where moose like to hang out! Other than the squirrels and woodpeckers, all you can hear is the wind. The toilets could use some more cleaning, but I was happy they were available and accessible. Our dogs loved the area, but definitely keep them on a short leash due to the probable bears living nearby. We would definitely come back!

There is a sign on the way in, be careful with your shot, moose are in the area. The first morning -- we had a huge bull moose visitor. So exciting and scary at the same time. If he's returned, we haven't seen him, which is a shame. So lovely to watch from inside the camper!
The sites are spacious and most appear to have a pretty good flat pad for tent camping. Some have too much slope to want to level a rig on. Lots of pit toilets scattered throughout so you don't have a long walk.
New faux wood tables are flat and lovely to cook on. We had a fire pit with a grill and a grill with a grill. Lots of options for cooking.
We had moved from 4 miles down the road where we were boondocking and had a ton of mosquitoes after 3 pm. We were surprised to have very few at Meadows Campground.
There are a lot of tall trees -- so even if you're thinking you have a lot of sun for solar charging, we usually only had half of a day of good sun for charging.
There is a bit of traffic noise from the highway -- but then you also get good cell signal because you're close to the road.

We scouted this campground which is excellent for shorter rigs but not for our fifth wheel and there are some pretty tight turns in the camp. Shorter motor homes and fifth wheels should not have a problem. Few pull thus, mostly back ins. This campground is up on Rabbit Ears Pass. Great place for Fall colors.

Wifi: Verizon - 6.47 down, 1.76 up / ATT - NONE
Cost: $10/night
Noise: Wilderness Serenade
Originally we were set to boondock at Forest Road 302, but the road was so rutted we couldnt safely get our motorcycle to the end of the road to scout it out. Meadows Campground, at the top of one of the mountains outside of Steamboat, was nearly empty on a Weds. We were able to take prime picking of spots, and after running speed tests around the whole place, we picked Site 8, which also happened to be one of the few pull throughs. Almost none of the other spots had any real upload speeds, and while the speed we are getting is enough to do emails, there isn't much more bandwidth. There are a few pit toilets (well maintained) but no water or electric. There is a dumpster at the beginning of the campground so all of your garbage needs are taken care of. About 30 minutes to Steamboat, it was a beautiful place to camp up (though next year we would go sooner as it gets to below freezing at night).
Rating: A bit stronger wifi and we would stay longer.
