Changed to a fee reservation system

This is one of several campgrounds noted in the larger Rabbit Valley Area. This CG is on the north side of the I70 interchange and seems to be more for the nonmotorized folks. However, the gravel road up to the top of the ridge was very steep and a couple sections gave me pause hauling my 18 ft TT. Total of 15 sites. In 2023 a new fee and reservation system started ($20/$10), no FCFS...7 day camping limit, with picnic tables and fire rings. One vault toilet. NO trash dumpsters noted, NO WATER, no RV DUMP. CG roads on top are all improved gravel and cabling keeps vehicles restricted. Cell signal is great, 5 bars LTE all carriers due to proximity to the freeway. Negative is truck noise constant in background from I70, so only three star rating, because of reservation system and no FCFS sites, a one nite stay will cost ya $8 reservation fee!

Frequently Asked Questions

What amenities are available at High North Campground?

High North BLM Campground offers minimal amenities, maintaining its primitive, undeveloped character. The campground primarily provides basic dispersed camping spaces on a ridge top. No potable water, electricity, or developed bathroom facilities are available on site. Visitors should come prepared with all necessary supplies including water, food, and waste disposal solutions. The undeveloped nature of this campground makes it best suited for self-sufficient campers who appreciate a more rustic outdoor experience.

Where is High North Campground located in Colorado?

High North BLM Campground is located in the Rabbit Valley Area in western Colorado, just off Interstate 70. The campground sits on the north side of the I-70 interchange, positioned on top of a ridge that offers scenic views of the surrounding landscape. The location is primarily designed for non-motorized recreation enthusiasts and provides a quieter alternative to other camping areas in the Rabbit Valley region.

What is the best time of year to visit High North Campground?

The best time to visit High North BLM Campground is during spring and fall when temperatures in western Colorado are most moderate. Summer months can be extremely hot with little shade available on the exposed ridge location. The campground's steep access road can become challenging during wet weather, so avoiding periods of rain or snow is advisable. Spring offers pleasant temperatures and potentially wildflowers, while fall provides cooler weather and less crowded conditions. Winter camping is possible but not recommended due to potential access issues and harsh weather conditions.
