Closed but no Signage
Driving by I would not have known this was closed. It looked to be in bad shape.
Permanently Closed
I was so sad to find out that this campground is now permanently closed.
Colson Canyon Campground
Colson is basic, fun, old school camping. This place has been here forever. I'm sure in its day it was packed but now it's always quiet. Beautiful area to get away but close enough, you don't have to go far. No bathrooms. Bring water. But 100% recommend.
