Group Campsite Perfect for Large Events

We were doing research for an upcoming large event and we came across this campground. 

This is a Group site that is at the base of the Colorado Trail in the middle of Buffalo Creek. 

This is a reservation only campground so you can’t get into the campground without a reservation. There is a large parking lot at the entrance to the campground with a pit toilet bathroom and multiple trails nearby. 

There are 2 sites in the campground. There are 25 cars spots per site that are available. The campground is $150 a night but would be great for large events since there is plenty of space. When we called to reserve the site we found out that we were too early to book since they release availability on a rolling basis. On July 01, 2020 at 08:00 am MDT, availability will be released through July 01, 2021.
