Summary
Fees are typically around $22 per night. Amenities include vault toilets, picnic tables, fire rings, and grills, but no water or hookups, so bring your own supplies. RVs up to 30 feet are permitted. Nestled in a scenic ponderosa pine forest near Buffalo Creek, the campground offers a peaceful, rustic experience with access to hiking and mountain biking trails like the Colorado Trail. The vibe is quiet and secluded, ideal for nature lovers. Best time to visit is late spring through early fall, when temperatures are mild and access roads are open.

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.
