A fishermen's paradise.
Campers at Meacham Lake are provided with a wide open view of a truly undeveloped area and can often hear the loon calling in early morning and late evening. Bald eagles have nested near the lake as well. Aside from a fishermen's paradise, the campground has an activities area complete with environmental interpreters, volleyball, horseshoes, kids playground, and bathing beach. Meacham Lake Campground is located on the north and west shores of Meacham Lake. The campground represents the only development of this 1,203 acre lake. The campground is in a very scenic area, surrounded by the northern mountains and extensive tracts of Wild Forest state land. All types of camping units can be accommodated from small tents to large recreational vehicles. The west side offers primitive and walk-in sites, while the main campground will accommodate both tents and RVs.
