About Meeks Cabin Campground
Nestled at 8,700 feet along the pristine shores of Meeks Cabin Reservoir, this tranquil mountain retreat offers 24 thoughtfully spaced campsites beneath a canopy of whispering pines. Each site comes complete with its own picnic table and fire ring, where stories are shared under star-filled skies. The single-loop design creates an intimate camping experience, while vault toilets ensure comfort in this high-altitude paradise. Whether you're casting a line at dawn, paddling across mirror-like waters, or simply watching elk graze in nearby meadows, Meeks Cabin delivers the authentic mountain escape you've been seeking.
The campground primarily offers standard nonelectric campsites, both single and double. There are no designated group sites, cabins, or glamping options.
Historical SignificanceWhile the modern campground serves as a gateway to outdoor adventure, the surrounding landscape holds stories yet to be discovered. The area's name hints at early mountain settlers who may have established cabins in these remote highlands, seeking solitude and sustenance from the land.
Weather and SeasonsFrom late spring's wildflower blooms to early fall's golden aspen displays, Meeks Cabin transforms with the seasons. At 8,700 feet, expect crisp mountain mornings that call for an extra layer and warm afternoons perfect for lakeside adventures. Summer temperatures create ideal conditions for outdoor activities, though mountain weather can shift quickly—bringing afternoon thunderstorms that paint dramatic skies before clearing to reveal breathtaking sunsets. Pack layers and rain gear to fully embrace the high-country experience.
ElevationPerched at 8,700 feet, Meeks Cabin occupies that sweet spot where the air is refreshingly thin but not overwhelming. This elevation gifts campers with naturally air-conditioned nights—perfect for deep sleep in your tent—and spectacular sunrise views as first light illuminates the surrounding peaks. The altitude enhances every experience, from the extra brightness of the stars to the satisfying crackle of your evening campfire.
Natural Features and SceneryA stunning tapestry of towering pines and quaking aspens frames your mountain basecamp, their branches creating nature's own cathedral above the campground. Meeks Cabin Reservoir stretches before you, its surface reflecting sky and forest in perfect harmony. This corner of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest showcases Mother Nature at her finest—where emerald forests meet sapphire waters, and rocky peaks pierce the horizon. Morning mists dance across the water while afternoon breezes set the aspens trembling in waves of green and gold.
Geological RegionStraddling the Utah-Wyoming border within the magnificent Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, Meeks Cabin Campground rests in one of the American West's most geologically fascinating regions. The surrounding landscape tells a story millions of years in the making—ancient seas gave way to towering mountains, creating today's dramatic terrain of alpine lakes, dense conifer forests, and meadows dotted with aspens. This 8,700-foot perch offers front-row seats to the geological theater where the Rockies meet the high desert, resulting in an ecosystem as diverse as it is beautiful.
