Big Meadows Reservoir SWA Campground in Mineral County offers a scenic base for fishing and paddling, featuring a boat launch on the northeast shore (motorized and non-motorized vessels permitted), an accessible fishing pier, and three loops of campsites with drinking water and vault toilets.

The campground sits in a lightly wooded spruce forest with meadow views and wildflowers; note that visitors 16+ must have a valid Colorado fishing/hunting license or SWA pass to access the water, while day-use and overnight fees apply for the Rio Grande National Forest facilities.
