About Longmire Meadow
Nestled deep within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Longmire Meadow offers adventurers a true backcountry experience where the roar of off-highway vehicles mingles with the whisper of mountain winds. This beloved dispersed camping area draws thrill-seekers and outdoor enthusiasts year-round, from OHV riders carving through scenic motorcycle trails to hunters tracking game through ancient forests. While amenities are minimal—just a single vault toilet stands between you and pure wilderness—the freedom to camp under star-studded skies and wake to unfiltered mountain air makes this rustic retreat an unforgettable escape.
Longmire Meadow is a dispersed camping area popular among OHV users, hunters, and those seeking a more primitive camping experience. The site includes a vault toilet but lacks other facilities such as potable water or garbage services.
Weather and SeasonsLongmire Meadow transforms dramatically with each passing season, offering campers a different adventure throughout the year. Summer welcomes visitors with warm, golden days perfect for trail riding and evening campfires, while autumn paints the surrounding forest in brilliant hues of amber and crimson.

Spring arrives with wildflower blooms and the promise of new adventures as the trails dry and the forest awakens.
ElevationPerched at 2,800 feet above sea level, Longmire Meadow strikes the perfect balance between accessible adventure and mountain solitude. This moderate elevation gifts campers with crisp, clean air and cooler temperatures without the extreme conditions found at higher altitudes, making it an ideal basecamp for exploring the surrounding peaks and valleys of the eastern Cascades.
Natural Features and SceneryStep into a world where towering evergreens frame expansive meadows and wildlife roams freely through their ancestral homeland. The Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest embraces Longmire Meadow with its protective canopy, creating a sanctuary where deer graze at dawn, birds orchestrate nature's symphony, and wildflowers carpet the forest floor in seasonal displays. This tranquil mountain setting invites you to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with the rhythms of the wilderness.
Geological RegionLongmire Meadow rests on the eastern slopes of the mighty Cascade Range, where volcanic peaks give way to rolling forests and hidden valleys. This dynamic landscape within the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest showcases the raw geological power that shaped the Pacific Northwest, offering campers a front-row seat to millions of years of natural history etched into every ridge and ravine.
