The Best Camping Near Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado

We stay here to go to the hot springs that are across the railroad tracks. 

  

Great because its free, but no real amenities

  

Close to town too, close to the river, nice open spots with big trees. 

  

Next to Colorado Open Space and SWA

Free but Very Close to the Railroad

Stayed one night here. Got a site alongside the river which was cool. The train was a downside as it went through twice in the night l, whistle and all.
