SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Within Rio Grande National Forest, Upper Beaver Creek Campground provides a smaller alternative to the busier Lower Beaver Creek facility downstream. This US Forest Service campground operates from Memorial Day through Labor Day and accommodates RVs up to 35 feet.

The campground sits close to Beaver Creek and near a reservoir, with approximately 10-12 sites offering direct water access. A recent camper caught three trout directly from their campsite, highlighting the immediate fishing opportunities. Sites include fire rings with grates, picnic tables, and access to vault toilets and a water pump, though no hookups or showers are available. The location requires a 10-minute drive from the main road near South Fork, positioning campers for access to sites near South Fork while maintaining distance from heavier traffic areas.

Upper Beaver Creek

This was pretty close to a perfect campspot for us. It's only a 10 minute drive off the main road from South fork, and 5 mins up from the main Beaver Creek Campground. The main is a bit more populated and traveled. The upper was secluded, closer to the water, closer to the reservoir, and only had 10-12 spots so not populated at all. Our spot was 15 ft from the water! The river is right there and beautiful. Each spot has water access also. We caught 3 trout right in front of our spot! Well shaded, fire pits with grates, and picnic tables. There are toilets and a water pump, no hookups or showers. Overall can't wait to get back here, by far one of the best spots we've ran across-$18 p/night.
