Teal Lake Camping Area is a picturesque campground located in the San Juan Mountains of southwestern Colorado. The campground boasts stunning surrounding views of the San Juan National Forest and the Uncompahgre Wilderness. The area is known for its abundant wildlife, including elk, mule deer, and mountain goats.

Located just a few miles away from the campground is the historic mining town of Telluride, where visitors can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and skiing. The nearby Lizard Head Wilderness Area provides opportunities for backcountry camping and hiking.

The campground itself features 14 first-come-first-serve campsites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. There are no RV hookups or showers, but vault toilets are available.

An interesting fact about the area is that it was once home to the Ute Native Americans who called the surrounding peaks the "Shining Mountains."

The best time of year to visit Teal Lake Camping Area is during the summer months when temperatures average between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit. The fall season is also a beautiful time to visit, with the changing colors of the aspen trees. It is important to note that the campground is only accessible by a rough, dirt road and may not be suitable for all vehicles.
