Lyons Gulch Campground


May 7, 2024

Lyons Gulch Campground is a beautiful camping area located in the Colorado headwaters watershed of Colorado. The surrounding views are stunning, with towering trees and scenic views of the mountains. The campground is situated near several points of interest, including the Arapaho National Forest, the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, and Rocky Mountain National Park. Visitors can enjoy hiking, fishing, and wildlife watching in the surrounding areas.

The campground itself offers amenities such as fire rings, picnic tables, vault toilets, and potable water. There are also several nearby towns that offer additional amenities, such as restaurants and grocery stores.

One interesting fact about the area is that it was once home to Ute and Arapaho tribes, who utilized the natural resources of the area for hunting and gathering. The area was also an important mining region during the Colorado Gold Rush.

The best time to visit Lyons Gulch Campground is during the summer months, from June to August, when the average temperatures range from 60-80°F. This is also the busiest time of year, so visitors should plan ahead and make reservations in advance.
