Gunnison National Forest runs a small established campground along a creek corridor in the mountains above places to camp near Lake City. Spruce Campground operates seasonally from May through October under US Forest Service management, with drinking water and toilets on site. No pets are permitted. Campers who want to compare nearby options can look at Hidden Valley, roughly a mile to the southwest.
