Upper Tent Meadow campsite Introduce

Welcome to Upper Tent Meadow campsite, located at 365016 County Road 9, Elkhart, IN 46514. As part of the Campgrounds & RV Parks category, Upper Tent Meadow offers a rustic tent camping experience with access to natural surroundings and hiking trails.

Upper Tent Meadow campsite is situated near a stream, providing a potential water source. However, it's important to note that the stream's reliability can vary, and it may dry up during late summer or dry years, as indicated by ranger warnings. Campers should plan accordingly and bring sufficient water.

The campsite area itself may not have clearly defined boundaries, with several side trails leading to potential camping spots. The location near the stream offers a natural setting, and moving further up the trail can lead to campsites with enhanced scenic views.

Compared to the Lower Tent Meadow campsite, which is located directly off the trail and within the trees, Upper Tent Meadow offers the opportunity for better views, rewarding those willing to venture further. Campers have found suitable campsites by exploring the area beyond the immediate stream vicinity.

The area is suitable for those seeking a more primitive camping experience, with opportunities for hiking and enjoying the natural environment. Campers should be prepared for potential variations in campsite locations and water availability.

For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding campsite availability, water conditions, and trail information, it is recommended to consult local park rangers or online trail resources.

The Lower Tent Meadow campsite area was right off the trail, in the trees (no view) and next to a reliable water source. This, the Upper Tent Meadow campsite area, is next to a stream that was running in late Sept 2016 but the ranger warned me it does dry up late in some years. It was not clear to me exactly where the campsite area was, but this location is close to the stream and had several side trails. Still I moved on and up a ways and ended up in an OK campsite that was clearly used by others. The views here were worth the effort going past the Lower Tent Meadows site.
