Guanella Pass Campground

Guanella Pass Campground is situated along the scenic Guanella Pass in Colorado, between the towns of Georgetown and Grant. The campground sits at a high elevation in the Rocky Mountains, typically above 10,000 feet. This alpine location offers beautiful mountain views and access to numerous hiking trails in the surrounding Arapaho National Forest. The high elevation means cooler temperatures even in summer months, so pack accordingly even for August camping trips.

Towing an RV or trailer to Guanella Pass Campground can be challenging. The road up Guanella Pass features steep grades, tight curves, and high elevation driving. While some smaller trailers or camper vans might manage the journey, large RVs are not recommended. The campground itself has limited parking and primarily offers tent camping sites rather than developed RV sites. Some walk-in sites require parking in a separate area and carrying gear to your campsite. For RV camping, consider alternative campgrounds at lower elevations in the Georgetown or Grant areas.

Guanella Pass Campground offers basic facilities for a rustic mountain camping experience. The campground features tent sites with picnic tables and fire rings. A natural creek runs alongside many of the tent campsites, providing a peaceful backdrop. The campground has a camp host, though availability may vary. Vault toilets are available on-site. There's no running water, electricity, or shower facilities, so campers should come prepared with their own water supply and other essentials.
