Campgrounds and RV parks near Meeker, CO

Meeker sits in the wide White River valley of northwestern Colorado, at the base of a ridge along State Highway 13. The town is a practical staging point for RV trips into the White River National Forest and the Flat Tops Wilderness, which lie east of town along County Road 8. RV renters typically choose between full-hookup private parks close to town and rustic forest or state wildlife area sites at higher elevation. Highway 13 leads to Meeker, and County Road 8 continues east for roughly 32 miles into the North Fork drainage. Trail & Hitch RV Park and Tiny Home Hotel and Rim Rock Campgrounds sit near town with hookups and amenities, while River Camp RV Park is set along the White River. Jensen State Wildlife Area - Horse Camp 1 and Oak Ridge State Wildlife Area - Lake Avery Unit Northeast offer more primitive camping managed by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Elevations in the surrounding forest rise quickly with distance from town. North Fork Campground sits at about 7,800 feet and Marvine Campground at about 8,200 feet, so weather, road access, and services change noticeably as County Road 8 climbs east.
