Fishing enthusiasts and mountain bikers can access this forested campground through multiple routes including drive-in, hike-in, and boat-in options. Located within Eldorado National Forest, Azalea Cove sits lakeside with bear boxes at each site and vault toilets available. The half-mile hike from parking areas means campers should pack light for the trek down to the water. Sites remain relatively empty during weekdays but see increased activity on weekends. Cell service reaches the area, and pets are not permitted. For additional options, campers can explore Big Silver Group Campground less than half a mile east.
