Big Meadows is a beautiful campground at the base of Wolf Creek Pass. The lake is beautifully full with all of the season’s rain. The vault toilets were the cleanest I’ve ever seen in a campground and the hosts added air freshener and hand sanitizer, which I very much appreciated. Water was available near the vault toilets, however it’s a regular faucet only, so there’s no way to attach a hose to it if you’re hoping to fill your RV’s tank upon arrival, other than filling a water can and pouring it in. I had a 1/2 tank of water already so it wasn’t a problem for me, but my brother in law was unable to add water to his Tab 400 trailer since it requires filling it with a pressurized hose connection.
Since there are no utilities available at the sites, several trailers used generators for electric service. Most were polite in doing so, but one in particular ran the generator all day long, and even after 10 pm. It was a regular construction type generator and was quite loud. If you need to use a generator PLEASE be considerate to others and use it sparingly. Even better if you use a quieter inverter generator.

Beautiful area, clean restrooms. Note that many of the sites have set of stairs from trailer to picnic table/ fire pit area.

This campground is VERY nice and the pit bathrooms were the VERY nice and clean compared to others around the USA. We used the site to acclemate for a night at 9,200 before going up to 11,700 to Archeleta Lake for 3 nights.

This was a gorgeous campground with a variety of sites and views. The little trail to Cascade Falls was beautiful, and walking along the creek provided for some great views, relaxing spots to read, and fishing sites. It was a long drive but the site was worth it.

Campground was in excellent shape this year. Bathrooms were cleaner than they have been in many years! Kudos to the hosts! Wild raspberries everywhere. Can’t wait till next season
