Knowles 5


May 7, 2024

Knowles 5 Campground is located in the Colorado headwaters-Plateau watershed of Colorado, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area. The campground is situated near the Williams Fork Mountains, which offer great hiking and sightseeing opportunities. The nearby Colorado River is also a popular spot for fishing and rafting.

The campground amenities include fire rings, picnic tables, and access to potable water. The site is primitive and does not offer any RV hookups, showers, or dump stations. However, the stunning views and serene atmosphere more than make up for any lack of amenities.

Some interesting facts about the area include its history of mining and logging. The Williams Fork Mountains were once heavily logged, and remnants of old logging roads can still be found today.

The best time of year to visit Knowles 5 Campground is from late May to early September. During this time, the average temperature ranges from 50 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a comfortable time for camping. It is important to note that weather in the mountains can be unpredictable, so visitors should come prepared for rain or cold temperatures.

Overall, Knowles 5 Campground is a beautiful spot for nature lovers to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. With its stunning views, nearby points of interest, and tranquil atmosphere, it is the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature.
