Gore Creek Campground

This camp ground was great! Site 19 was a treat. It’s considered a walk in but it was pretty close to the parking lot so not a big deal for us. There is a fire ban in this area so be mindful of that. Bathrooms were incredibly clean. Campsites were spread out and didn’t feel like you were on top of the group beside you. You can hear i70 in the distance but I was able to tune it out. Camp hosts were lovely. Will for sure be back!

We planned a last minute trip from Denver and wanted to find a bookable campground so we had a guaranteed site (we couldn’t arrive until Saturday evening). Unsurprisingly, all campgrounds in the area were booked solid.

This is when a Dyrt Alert saved the day. They gave me a heads up 2 days prior that a site was open. 5 minutes and a $36 site fee later, we had a site for our trip. Which turned out to be an amazing location! The raging creek next to us was a great addition to an otherwise standard site

Great little camp. Around 20 spots I believe. We picked one of the last non reserved spots and dropped $28 in the box. Good privacy, very clean bathrooms, picnic table and fire ring. Groundskeeper/host was awesome. Fantastic spot

Lovely campground with gorgeous views! The path to the campsites in the loop we stayed was short but steep so beware if you have breathing conditions or heavy gear. Hands down the cleanest vault toilets I’ve ever seen. No odor at all! There is no water, so plan for that. And use. The. Bear boxes!

Second time camping here, and it just keeps getting better. Great trail access, 10 minutes to Vail Village, and 30 minutes to Frisco/Dillon. If you’re looking for no frills camping in a gorgeous location, Gore Creek is for you.

This campground is located on Gore Creek. The surrounding area is beautiful. It's appropriately 10 minutes from Vail and quite. The bathrooms are vaulted toilets and the roads are all dirt. I would not attempt this campground in a rig over 35 feet as it becomes very tight in and out. Being situated on Gore Creek the sounds of the dancing waters are right with you. There are several hiking paths throughout the campground. There is no electricity, dump or water available here so make sure you have plenty before you get in. There is firewood for sale at the camp host site. There are fire rings, picnic tables and bear proff lockers at each site. Nice place to re focus. Verizon worked well. Have fun and safe travels.

We did a bike ride through Vail to West Vail. Beautiful but uphill on way back. Also can bike Vail Pass from campsite. Our campsite was across from the restroom and next to Gore Creek which was beautiful. Campsite to close October 3rd. We did get some cell service through our cell boast on our Verizon network.

Great campground. Campsites spaced apart. If you can reserve site 10 to 13. They are on the Creek. Only a few miles from downtown Vail. CO. Camphost was friendly  and helpful. Firewood on site. If you have the forest feeling this is the campsite for you.

Gore Creek Campground is a true gem of the National Forest Service. If you are looking for a great boondocking location that is close to great trails and breathtaking views, this just might be the place for you. The entrance to the campground is ~2 miles off of I-70 Exit 180 on Bighorn Road. Only 10 minutes from Vail Village and 25 minutes from Frisco.

We stayed in Site #8, which provided plenty of room for our 22’ travel trailer and pickup. The sites each have a large picnic table and fire ring.

Pit toilets are spread through the campground and were very clean and well maintained. The campground hosts do a great job of keeping everything tidy and looking great. They also have bundles of firewood for sale for $7 at their site just inside the entrance to the campground.

I can’t say enough about this place. It’s probably my favorite spot to camp in Colorado. I almost didn’t post this review for fear of the secret getting out.

Well maintained and comfortable spot. Only downside is sound off of interstate. Otherwise it was perfect!

We loved staying here! You could hear the river from our site (site 14) it was very spacious, plenty of trees for hammock camping. The views are awesome, we enjoyed just walking around the little trails around camp. The bathrooms are pit toilets but kept clean. No complaints here!

Took my girlfriend here for her 23rd birthday and we were absolutely stunned. The campsites are spaced far enough apart that you can’t see or hear your neighbors, firepits with grates and bathrooms was a pleasant surprise! It was, as she called it “absolute bliss”. Highly, highly recommend and the campsite hosts are wonderful people! Super nice and helpful.

Stayed at the tent camp site. Very nice. Close to the bike trail which was nice, rode up to vail pass. Beautiful. There is some noise from the freeway but if you are closer to the river it shouldn't be too bad. The tent sites are hike in but it is not far to walk.

I loved camping here. Some of the campsites require a short walk. We camped with two of our children. Our site was more secluded then other sites. I noticed that some of the sites required walking up a steep hill.

I loved that we could hear the roar of the river nearby. Added to a restful sleep. The toilets were very clean. No showers. There are bear boxes at every site. Everyone seemed friendly. I will definitely be back.

We stayed at Gore Creek for only one night, but we were very impressed! It only takes 10 minutes from downtown Vail, but the campground feels like it's in the middle of nowhere. Lots of trees, and the sites are fairly private. Each site had a bear locker, fire pit, picnic table, and long parking spot (30+ ft). Gore Creek runs right next to the sites on the left side of the campground. I would recommend trying to get one of those because the sound of the river drowns out the road noise that you can hear in the distance. The bathrooms were amazingly clean so that was a very nice surprise. I would definitely stay here again if we were in the Vail area.

When we arrived at Gore Creek Campground all the spots were full due to the GoPro Mountain games in vail. We decided to go around the corner and hike up Gore Creek trail a bit and do dispersed camping. There were a few spots about a 1/4 mile up the trail that was taken already, but we were able to go up a little further and find a relatively flat spot. Got up in the morning, drove over and hiked Big Horn trail up to the cabin on top (BEAUTIFUL HIKE)!

A great location right by Vail, Gore Creek Campground has a great setup - private, clearly defined campsites, fire pits, picnic tables, and bathrooms. No running water though so stop by the Safeway in West Vail and pick up a couple gallons. Great place to camp, felt safe and comfortable. Only downside for me is the consistent hum of the highway not far away.

Campsite campsite 9 10 11 and 8 are good there's a little bit of road noise if your towards the entrance but the Aspens and the Ponderosa Pines are well worth the view hiking trails great place we stayed in August

We love the creek the dogs loved it beautiful place good camping. There was lots of room for the dogs the campsite was also very easy to back into it was well maintenanced clean. And lots of trees I was able to hang my hammock for beautiful resting view of the trees!

this camp ground is located just a few short miles east of Vail village, which is loaded with activities. 2 miles west there is a great river entry in the spring. Lots of hiking and biking trails located close by. And Vail pass for hiking and biking.
