Vaughan Lake Campground

Small and lovely CG. Basic with table and a fire ring. Great Lake for paddle board, kayak, and belly boats. Million dollar views. First come first served. Middle of week only two others were there.

Established campground with basics like a fire ring, picnic table and vault toilets. No water. If you are wanting a few days away from everything and willing to drive on dirt/gravel roads to get here, it is an awesome place to camp. Bring everything you need because there are no quick trips to a store out here. The river that flows into the lake is adjacent to campsite #1 and makes for a great night of sleep. The view waking up to the lake with the snow capped mountains in the background is truly a Colorado experience if that is what you’re looking for.

We drove to Vaughn Lake from Denver and found a perfect Dispersed camping spot 6 miles from the campground. The dispersed camping is abundant on this road and there are both remote back country spots and large pull off spots for a trailer.

This campground has great views, feels remote, and has great water access. There are only six spots that are first come first served. Bring your own water in!
