Summary
There’s a small fee per night. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills, but no drinking water or hookups—bring your own water. Suitable for tents and small RVs (no large rigs). Set in a serene, forested setting at 9,200 feet, it’s peaceful and scenic with access to nearby trails like the Colorado Trail. Expect cool mountain air, abundant wildlife, and a quiet vibe ideal for unplugging. Best visited June–September when roads are clear and temps are comfortable.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
