Tiki Mine Camp campground
Tiki Mine Camp
Nearby points of interest include the Tiki Mine, an abandoned silver mine that can be explored with caution, and the Eagle River, which offers opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and rafting. The area is also home to several hiking and mountain biking trails, including the East Fork Trail and the Red and White Mountain Trail.
The campground amenities are limited, with no potable water or restroom facilities available on site. Visitors are encouraged to pack in their own water and practice Leave No Trace principles while camping.
Interesting facts about the area include that it was once home to the Ute Indian tribe and was later used for mining and logging. The Tiki Mine was a major silver producer in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The best time of year to visit Tiki Mine Camp Campsite is during the summer months, from June to September, when temperatures are mild with average highs in the mid-70s to low-80s Fahrenheit. However, it is important to note that the area is prone to thunderstorms and flash floods during the summer months, so caution should be taken while exploring the surrounding wilderness.
