Within Routt National Forest, Hidden Lakes Campground sits directly on lake water at an elevation that closes the facility from October through mid-July each season. The US Forest Service manages this drive-in campground with sites accommodating RVs up to 45 feet, though campers note the other lakes in the area require some exploration to locate.
Sites include standard amenities like picnic tables, fire rings, drinking water, and vault toilets. The lakefront location provides immediate access for fishing and kayaking, while hiking trails extend into the surrounding forest. Campers can find additional camping near Routt National Forest throughout the broader area. The $20 nightly fee covers the basic amenities, and both pets and alcohol are permitted.
Description
9 campsites near a number of small lakes and reservoirs. Nonmotorized boating only. Hidden Lakes Campground is located 32 miles southwest of Walden, adjacent to a small secluded mountain lake in the Mount Zirkel/Park Range. Due to the mountain pine beetle epidemic, most of the mature pine trees have been removed, resulting in less available shade.
