Accessible via rough forest roads, Hidden Valley operates as a US Forest Service campground within Gunnison National Forest from June through September. The forested sites sit near a creek, providing basic toilet facilities for campers willing to navigate the challenging access route.
Located roughly 10 miles from town, this established campground serves as a base for exploring the surrounding national forest terrain. The rough road conditions require high-clearance vehicles and careful driving, particularly during wet conditions. Campers should pack all supplies before heading in, as the remote location means limited opportunities for resupply once at the site.

This tent camping site is great for folks interested in hiking and backpacking. It offers access to extensive trail systems within both wilderness and general forest areas.
