Routt National Forest's Horseshoe Campground sits several miles off the main highway on a dirt road with a bumpy approach, so low-clearance vehicles and RVs over 25 feet should plan accordingly. The single loop holds 19 drive-in sites set among trees alongside a meadow, with spacing that keeps neighbors at a reasonable distance. A creek runs through the property, and trails leave directly from the loop. Campers visiting in early summer report heavy mosquitoes and overnight temperatures that can drop into the 30s even in late July, so layers and bug protection matter. Cold Springs Campground sits just under half a mile away for campers who want a nearby alternative, and there are additional campgrounds around Routt National Forest for those working out a longer itinerary.
