Cold Springs Campground

The reviews on here are for the other Cold Springs Campground located near Blackhawk, CO, what they are describing is not the Cold Springs Campground in Yampa, CO. There are only 5 sites here, they are $20 per night, no reservations accepted, all first come basis. Has one pit toilet, picnic table and fire grate. The road up is very washboard so a very slow drive. Bring warm clothes even in mid July it is very cold at night and in the mornings at this high of elevation! The little pond is beautiful!

Stayed here for two nights while hiking trails in the area. Small 5 site loop with 2 pull through sites #1&5. Very clean pit toilet. Water between sites 4&5. I stayed on a Tues and Wed night and I was the only one in the CG. I saw a big bear right at the road near the CG entrance. They don’t have bear boxes in the campground. The CG sits next to a small lake fed by two cascading streams. A nearby hike, 2.5 miles one way, takes you to Mosquito Lake. Very beautiful.

Most of the other reviews are for Cold Springs CG near Blackhawk. This CG is actually near Yampa. There is a small lake with a couple of waterfalls feeding it. Only 5 sites. Water and pit toilet. Sites have table and fire pit. The Forest service has been upgrading with new tables. Several hikes nearby..

We had a large group here for a fishing intro trip and we were basically solo. We were able to hang around the water and have a safe camping space with ample space. There are tent pads and RV pull ins too. 

The bathrooms were well taken care of and the trash was picked up. There is a season for this campground so make sure it is open and it slightly snowed on us when we were out there in October.

first place I went camping in Colorado and I loved it so much I paid for an extra day. it rained on the last day but it was still wonderful. felt lost in the mountains and loved it

We stayed here in July and it was beautiful. There are lots of aspens, wild flowers and pines. There is a nice, short hike off the campground that leads to beautiful views. Our site, 26 was fairly private. Some of the sites were pretty close together and some were more spacious. There are tent pads required which our site fit our 10'x16' just barely. Our site required descending a hill and several log steps. The highway was too loud at our site which was one of the deeper sites on the grounds so I would have to assume the other sites would be even louder. There is a playground here as well.

This place had good views close to a water scenery area it was nice weather when we went at the end of the season September not so windy and it was a easy close Drive the cons are there's a shooting area close by so you hear gunshots and The Beetles and bugs are super loud!

this is an amazing campground. Stopped here on my way from San Diego to Portland and was very happy i did. The campground is adorable and it really helped feel like i was definitely out of the city. Lush greenery made it a campground I will definitely go back to.

This campsite is (I believe) in Gilpin County and offers very nice views from several trails nearby. The drive to get there is stunning (Peak to Peak Highway), and the campground sits right off the road. There is road noise because it's so close to the road, so if that bothers you, beware. Because of that, and the fact that the spots are built into a hill on the side we stayed on, I give it 4/5. Some may like it as it may in some cases offer a little extra privacy. We have an RV and set up shop in the parking pad which had a set of stairs up to a fire pit, picnic table, and a flat tent area. Not as popular as some other sites along P2P, and you can reserve in advance. Because of the location, the site is probably going to rate really high with people unfamiliar with the Front Range. For tent camping or those up for winging it on the chance of a walk up spot, check out Rainbow Lakes or Pawnee @ Brainard Lake a bit further North on P2P first. No hook-ups.
