Trujillo Meadows Campground is a Forest Service campground in Colorado's Conejos Peak Ranger District of the Rio Grande National Forest, sitting above Trujillo Meadows Reservoir and next to a meadow. The site is split into Upper and Lower sections, and the land has been cleared of most trees because of beetle kill. The campground has 50 sites, with one site set aside for a two-car group. All have picnic tables and fireplaces with limited firewood, and there is ample parking and refuse pickup. Barrier-free facilities are available. Sites 34 through 39 are in an inner loop that isn't RV friendly. An observation platform across from sites 40 and 41 offers a view of a waterfall. The surrounding area has plenty to pair with camping. Trujillo Meadows Boating Site is just 0.6 miles away for boating and fishing on the reservoir, with small motorized and nonmotorized craft allowed. The Cumbres Toltec Scenic Railroad, a historic narrow-gauge line, runs nearby. Hikers can reach Los Pinos Trail 736 via improved dirt Forest Road 1C and 4WD Forest Road 118.
