Meadows Group Campground sits at 7,400 feet in the Buffalo Creek Recreation Area, about 30 miles southwest of Denver in Colorado's Pike and San Isabel National Forests, within the South Platte Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the site is set up for groups rather than individuals, with vault toilets as the only listed amenity. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from June through September, when typical averages from the nearby Bailey weather station reach highs in the mid-70s to low 80s and lows in the mid-30s to low 40s. July and August bring the most wet days, about 12 to 13 a month, while winter highs stay in the upper 30s. The surrounding area offers plenty to pair with a stay. The Mouache hike and the Green Mountain mountain biking trail are both about 0.3 miles away, and Buffalo Campground is 0.4 miles off. Green Mountain Campground lies about 1.3 miles away.
