The Crags Campground, near Walden, Colorado, is a fantastic spot for those looking to immerse themselves in nature. This place offers a rustic experience with basic amenities, including picnic tables and fire grills, making it ideal for tent camping or RVs.
Visitors often rave about the stunning scenery and the frequent moose sightings. One camper shared, “We saw a smallish bull moose and lots of bucks!” The campground is surrounded by beautiful mountain views and is close to great hiking trails like American Lakes and Lake Agnes, perfect for those who want to explore the outdoors.
While the facilities are basic, you’ll find potable water and vault toilets available. The atmosphere is peaceful, with a remote feel that many campers appreciate. Just remember to keep your food secured, as the local wildlife, including moose, can be quite curious. As one happy camper put it, “This place is incredible...surrounded by the forest and mountains.” If you're looking for a true escape into nature, The Crags Campground is worth checking out.
