About Middle Meadows

Its scenic location also provides for beautiful sightseeing, birding and wildlife viewing.

There is a swimming hole that is located just west of Middle Meadows Group Campground about 0.25 miles.

Facilities

Natural Features

Although the campground has a primitive, undiscovered feel to it, the serene mountain landscape is well worth the long drive from civilization.
