Meeker Park Overflow Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Boulder Ranger District of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in Colorado. It sits within the national forest system, and the nearest town is Allenspark, about 1.3 miles away. The campground is not reservable, so it is best to plan on arriving and finding a spot on site rather than booking in advance. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Allenspark show July highs around 74°F with lows near 44°F, while winter highs stay around freezing. Several other outdoor spots lie within a short drive. The CO Hwy 7 & Tributaries climbing area and the Deer Ridge mountain biking trail are each about a mile away, and the Wagener Trail is about 1.6 miles off.
