May 7, 2024

Catamount Bridge Campground is situated in the Colorado headwaters watershed of Colorado and is an ideal destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The campground offers stunning views of the surrounding mountain peaks and the nearby Williams Fork Range. Visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, and mountain biking in the area, with popular nearby attractions including the Arapaho National Forest, Rocky Mountain National Park, and the Indian Peaks Wilderness.

The campground amenities include 10 campsites equipped with fire rings and picnic tables, with access to drinking water and vault toilets. The area is also pet-friendly, with pets allowed on a leash.

Interesting facts about the area include its location within the Colorado River headwaters, which is the source of water for many western states. The nearby Williams Fork River is known for its excellent trout fishing, with rainbow and brown trout being the most common catch.

The best time to visit Catamount Bridge Campground is during the summer months, from June to August, when average temperatures range from 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, and 40-50 degrees Fahrenheit at night. It's important to note that the campground is at a high elevation, so visitors should be prepared for colder temperatures and potential snowfall during the shoulder seasons.
