Weather at Meeks Cabin Campground

Best Time to Camp at Meeks Cabin Campground

Best season: fall. Fall offers the best combination of weather, solitude, and fishing — daytime highs at 8,700 ft typically run 40–60°F with nights dipping into the 20s–30s in September and October. Trout fishing is often at its peak as fish feed before winter, and mountain-bike trails and forest roads are quieter than summer months. Expect crisp, colorful scenery along Blacks Fork and far fewer crowds than nearby Mirror Lake, but be aware of hunting seasons and the potential for early snow. Peak months: September, October, August, July Avoid: December, January, February

About Meeks Cabin Campground

Meeks Cabin Campground sits at 8,727 feet near the Blacks Fork drainage, a quieter alternative to the packed Mirror Lake corridor. Reviewers consistently call it beautiful and peaceful, with tree-shaded sites, mountain views, and easy access to a nearby reservoir for fishing and boating. Access requires navigating dirt forest roads, but the payoff is solitude and scenery.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies forested terrain along Blacks Fork, with trees providing shade and mountain ridges framing the horizon. A reservoir sits close enough for quick fishing trips or swimming, though shore access can be brushy. The surrounding Uinta high country opens up trails for mountain biking and off-roading, with far less traffic than Mirror Lake. Cattle sometimes graze the area, a reminder this is working forest as much as recreation land. Expect bugs during warmer months and the kind of quiet that lets you hear the fork's current.

Go if

Fall campers chasing trout and aspen color get the best of this place: thinner crowds after Labor Day, active fish, and temps that still support comfortable hiking. Bring layers for nights in the 20s.

Skip if

Sloped sites catch several RV and van campers off guard, so bring leveling blocks or expect to shuffle around. No potable water on-site means hauling your own, and summer bugs are a real nuisance in warmer months.
