Map showing campground location near Del Norte, Colorado

Elephant Rocks

Dispersed and close to the main road, Elephant Rocks sits near Del Norte with roughly seven or eight individual spots spread across the site. A high-clearance vehicle handles most of the area without difficulty, though the upper two spots involve rockier, bumpier terrain. Cell service is strong. Pack insect repellent and secure food storage: June visitors have reported black flies, fire ants, and rodent activity at camp.

Beautiful spot, quiet, but annoying critters.

Probably 7 or 8 solid spots, quite a bit of space, close to the main road, fairly easy to get to (a few tricky rocks spots to navigate but nothing crazy). My Promaster is able to get to almost all of the spots without issue. The upper two sites would require some rocky/bumpy navigating though. Not sure if it’s simply the time of year I visited (June) but the black flys and fire ants were really annoying, and I had a mouse join me the first night. So, that part’s far from ideal. Otherwise it’s a great place to hang for a while. Strong cell service.
