Off-season solitude

This campground offers basic and clean tent sites with ample space for parking. The sites are well spaced out and provide a great sense of solitude to enjoy the beautiful nature. The location of this campground provides a great base camp for adventures in the surrounding areas including Cameron Pass, State Forest State Park, and the Poudre Canyon. We camped here in late September, just outside of the operating season, so there were no fees and the area was quite desolate. The fire pits and grates were quite nice to have for cooking, although our campsite was lacking a picnic table (likely due to our time of visit). This is a great campground for those looking to get away from it all without the need for many amenities. I will definitely be back again soon!

Some things to keep in mind:

-The road getting to the further spots is quite rugged so a high clearance vehicle would be a good idea

-This campground is located at a relatively high elevation and gets quite cold at night outside of the summer months, we even got some snow during our September visit!
