Snowden Meadow

Post by Ed_Groves »

Is there a cost to park and camp at Snowden Meadow near Lake City, or is it a free, first-come, first-serve kind of deal? I can't seem to find too much information about it online.
I am planning a peak bagging trip to that area next summer and was evaluating different places to use my truck tent.

It’s free, first come first served. There’s lots of places to car camp in the region. Having Gaia or Caltopo on you phone helps a lot with being sure of NSF public land.
