Now closed for renovation until 2024

Awesome campground! Totally shaded and right next to the creek.

This is a great site for April in Colorado. Still plenty of snow around but this site is completely empty early season. In the summer it can get very full and sites are pretty close together. Parking is difficult when there are a lot of other campers. Road in has tons of potholes so low clearance vehicles should avoid. Hall valley CG is right up the road. (I enjoy hall valley more)

I must know, why is the bathroom full of bullet holes and it looks like someone was shooting there way in like trying to shoot someone inside, many trees in the surrounding camping area are full of bullet holes as well. We left (was not prepared for a possible shootout), I would love to come back but would really like to know what transpired at handcart.

Stayed for two nights, had a great time hiking up to Gibson Lake, exploring the Pike Forest and chilling by the creek. This is a tent-only campground and a bit of a hidden gem.

This is one very nice Cg. Creek runs through the CG. Peace-full and full of Pines. One vault toilet. First come first served. About 10 sites with a camp host that also takes care of another CG 1 mile up the road. Hall CG. Four wheel drive trails up ahead and a trail-head to hike to a high elevation lake. Some might not want to pay $22 per night but it is still less expensive than most vacations...

Handcart Campground is a great little camp ground right near Bailey Colorado. It definitely is a hidden gem down a long dirt road with 11 campsites available at first come, first serve at $22 dollars a night. It had great views and a awesome river right through the whole camp grounds. The site is in the woods and comes with a fire pit and picnic table.
