Howard Meadows is a Forest Service campground in the Covelo Ranger District of Mendocino National Forest in California. It sits about 0.2 miles from Howard Lake Campground, which makes it easy to pair the two sites in one visit. The Forest Service manages the land, and the site charges a fee. The campground has vault toilets, which are the only amenities listed. There is no evidence of running water, so visitors should plan to bring their own supplies. Several other places lie within a few miles. Howard Lake Campground is the closest, and Little Doe and Wells Cabin are also campgrounds. The Little Doe Trail starts about 1.3 miles away for those who want a hike.
