Spruce Grove Campground in the Lost Park Wilderness

Spruce Grove Campground is a beautiful location approximately 2 hours Southwest of Denver. Surrounded by rock outcroppings, the main campground loop has lovely shaded sites around most of its border. Interior loop sites have little or no shade. The walk-in sites across the foot bridge are wonderful and set among the rocks. Sites are well maintained by a friendly camp host who has served the location for many years. The gorgeous Tarryall Creek runs along the Eastern edge and past the walk-in sites. All ages enjoy tubing on the creek for a 1/4 mile stretch. There are calm, protected shallows along the creek for supervised play as well. The outcropping that surround the campground are fun to climb, and trails lead directly from the campground. There are many birds and other wildlife in the area for observation. I've heard mixed reviews on the fishing, most likely because the river play keeps the fish from biting.

The campground has vault toilets (very well maintained) and a potable water pump. Firewood is available for sale. Please follow Park County burn restrictions and enjoy your visit!

Note: this campground seldom has sites available without reservation. I recommend making reservations several months in advance on www.recreation.gov
