Upper and Lower Ansel Watrous Campgrounds
Reviewed Aug. 25, 2019

Sites right on the Cache la Poudre River

It's a very small campground with sites right along the river. There is a hairpin switchback to get into the lower loop and the website states that it is not accessible to trailers longer than 20 feet. Our friends cancelled because of that statement, but we watched some large trucks with long trailers negotiate it without issue.

The Greyrock Trailhead is close by and  we enjoyed hiking to the rock.

The only drawback to this campground is the rattlesnakes. The camp host warned us not to walk in the tall grass because they have caused trouble to other campers and their dogs. We didn't see any slithering around, but we found two dead rattlers on the road near our site so I don't think she was exaggerating.
