Colorado Parks & Wildlife manages this established campground within Lone Dome State Wildlife Area, providing drinking water, toilets, and a dump station for RVs up to 22 feet. The forested setting includes open terrain areas near a creek, offering varied camping conditions. Access requires navigating forest roads typical of the region's backcountry locations.
Campers seeking different amenities can explore San Juan National Forest Ferris Canyon Campground, located less than a mile east with additional forest service facilities.
Description
Campgrounds still open between September and May have no services (water, electric, trash pick up or rest rooms). Please keep them clean and pack it out. Thanks! Ferris Canyon Campground is three miles upstream from Cabin Canyon along Forest Rd. 504. This barrier-free facility has 7 sites for camping and picnicking but no water. It is 3.5 miles downstream of the dam and popular with fly fishermen (catch-and-release only). The historic Lone Dome Ranger Station is nearby.
