Welcome back to another episode of Campground Recon. Today we are right along the Flat Tops
Scenic Byway about 32 miles east of Meeker Colorado. We're at the North Fork Campground.
On the other side of the byway is the north fork of the White River.
North Fork Campground has 28 sites and is open from mid-May through early October. Fees are $25
per night. Reservations are accepted online at recreation.gov. Nearest cell phone service
is about 12 miles to the west at Buford. Trappers Lake is about 15 miles to our east.
Looks like at one time there was another loop to this campground off to the left. It's gated and
satellite imaging looks like it hasn't been used in a while.
Here's our camp host. actually, I believe we have several camp hosts at this one.
A lot of trees and vegetation here in this campground,
so we'll go back through a second time. Site number one on our left.
It's a long one. You can get a long trailer in there.
There's a water spigot
So we'll go back and catch a lot of these campsites again
Site three on our left. Site number two is a pull-through so we're going to drive through here.
It really feels secluded with all the vegetation grown up around these sites.
Just after site two is the restrooms. Site four will be on our left. It's occupied so
we can't show that one to you. Site five is another pull-through site.
And as we come out there's the water station in front of us. Site six is off to our left.
Site seven.
Eight is down to the right. Nine is up on our left. So earlier in the summer of 2020 the uh
one of the campsites here had a trailer that was broken into by a bear.
So if you decide to camp here be sure you take all precautions with your food and
keep it stored either on the side inside your vehicle
or in one of the bear lockers that's provided in the campsites.
Coming up on a few sites that are more out in the open. Site 10. 11's the pull through on the left.
12 is the campsite with the white truck
Another water station. A water spigot. Coming down on site 13 on our left. Lots of sun here.
So we visited this campsite or campground in mid-July, we're in the middle of the week a
lot of the campsites were tagged for being taken on the weekend. We'll drive through site 14 here.
During the week it's pretty empty.
Looking straight ahead into site number 16.
Let's take a drive through it.
17 will be off to the right there. We'll come back and take a look at it on our second trip through.
Site number 18. There's a water spigot right next to 18.
A little bit of an uphill here. Relatively flat though
Site 19 will be a back-in site. We'll pop up the map of the campground here again.
Site 20. Another one that's a little uphill.
Site 21 was off to the left
Site 22 on the right. That one's occupied. Let's pull through site 23.
Another long one here.
So water off to our right. Looking up into site-25
It's another long one.
Uphill again but once you get up the hill it's fairly flat.
Very few of these campsites where you can see your neighbors.
27 on the right with the camper. 26 was on the left
Site 28 is on the left. That's a longer one. Really flat site.
And water one more time.
Drive in here check out the sign. I'll put some links in the video
description for some of the other videos for king grounds in the area um cutthroat campground at
trapper's lake is probably the most informative on things to do over in that general direction
Here's the map. So we're kind of in the center there.
The dark green in the lower corner or the lower right side that's the flat tops wilderness area
and in the far bottom-right corner is trapper's lake and all campgrounds at that complex.
Here's another look at the map and we'll go back through and show you some of the sites.
North Fork site number one
