Lake Meredith Campground

What sets Lake Meredith Campground apart is its expansive and serene landscape, offering a slice of remote tranquility ideal for those seeking an off-grid escape. Located just outside Sugar City, Colorado, the campground provides free, primitive camping along the northern shore of Lake Meredith Reservoir, where vast open spaces meet shallow waters perfect for boating, birdwatching, and fishing.

This dispersed camping area is well-suited for self-contained camping, as there are no hookups or developed facilities, aside from a few vault toilets. The reservoir, spanning 5,500 surface acres, is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with its warm, shallow waters enabling activities such as jet skiing, kayaking, and ice fishing in the winter. Wildlife enthusiasts will enjoy frequent sightings of waterfowl, prairie dogs, and deer, further enriching the camping experience.

Just 10 minutes away in Ordway, visitors have access to gas stations, small-town restaurants, a grocery store, and recreational amenities. For those seeking a mix of solitude and nearby conveniences, Lake Meredith Campground offers a rugged yet rewarding camping experience in Crowley County's high-desert beauty.
