Summary
No reservations are needed—sites are first-come, first-served, with no fees or permits required. Pit toilets and picnic tables are available; however, there's no potable water, and RVs are allowed but without hookups. Fire rings are present at most sites. Surrounded by spruce and aspen, the campgrounds provide a peaceful, scenic getaway with access to the Continental Divide Trail and nearby Trujillo Meadows. Best visited June through September, the area is quiet, remote, and perfect for dispersed solitude or rustic camping.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
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.
