Summary
No reservations are needed—sites are first-come, first-served, and free of charge. Amenities include vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables; however, there’s no potable water or hookups. RVs can access the area, but space is limited and best suited for smaller rigs. Set in a serene high-alpine forest near Leadore, the campground provides quick access to the Continental Divide Trail and stunning mountain scenery. It’s ideal for hikers and solitude seekers. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall, when trails are snow-free and the weather is mild.

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.
