Tipi Village campground
Tipi Village
The campground offers a truly unique camping experience with its traditional Native American tipis, which are available for rent. Each tipi is equipped with a wood-burning stove and comfortable bedding. Other amenities include a communal kitchen, hot showers, and flush toilets.
Tipi Village Camping Area operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, and there are a total of 12 campsites available. An interesting fact about the area is that it was once a Ute Indian hunting ground and was later a mining camp during the Colorado Gold Rush.
The best time of year to visit Tipi Village Camping Area is during the summer months when temperatures average around 70°F during the day and drop to the 40s at night. The campground is open from mid-May through mid-October, and visitors are advised to bring warm clothing for the cool mountain nights.
