Cataract Creek Campground

Me and my friend stayed in site 4 on a sunday night in october. Its a great small spot with 5 well established sites right off the forest road hidden in the trees. Its a short walk to lower cataract lake with a good loop.

The next morning we hiked the upper loop with Eaglesmere lakes, Tipperary lake, and Surprise lake. Being mid october the campground was very cold at night but it was empty and felt secluded even though only 35 minutes from Silverthorne. I enjoyed this campground and the area

We drove in to the area late on Friday before labour day. It was of course very full. It was still a great place to stay. The little lake was very beautiful. Way too many people but this was labour day weekend. I'm sure at other times it's very much quieter.

Secluded sites in a small, dense patch of trees. Good for tent camping and very small trailers. Accessible via a maintained dirt road, but the road in the campground is a little rough. A few hundred yards from multiple trailheads. The sites are only about 20-50 feet from the road, which has moderate vehicle traffic going to and from the nearby trailheads early morning through late afternoon, but quiet at night.
