Indian Creek

ATV and dirt bike riders frequent this Pike National Forest campground, creating consistent engine noise throughout the day. Indian Creek operates as a first-come, first-serve facility with two small loops containing roughly eight sites total. The gravel access road handles most vehicles, though RVs are limited to 20 feet maximum length.

Each loop provides vault toilets without running water, and campers must pack out all trash. Sites feature picnic tables and fire rings, with several offering "attractive sites available with trees and grass," as one visitor noted. The $22-$23 nightly fee gets paid through a cash-only drop box system with no change provided. Bear activity requires proper food storage, and clear signage warns campers about wildlife precautions.

Indian Creek Trail starts from the campground, connecting to Bear Creek for several miles of hiking. Mountain bikers and equestrians also use these routes regularly. Cell service remains nonexistent for both AT&T and Verizon networks. Sites fill quickly on weekends, with only a few spots remaining by Friday evening during peak season.

The camp host checks in regularly and provides helpful information about the area. Campers seeking backup options can find free dispersed sites along Rampart Road, including spots at Rampart Range Recreation Area for those wanting a different experience.

Campers regularly cited the attractive, well-maintained sites with trees and easy access. Basic facilities include pit toilets but no hookups. Some visitors reported ATV/dirt bike noise as the area is popular with riders.

Accessible with tons of trails

Very nice pull in campsite near a ton of trails. It was pretty busy, though, on a Tuesday. Also, it was $23/night. Be sure to pass all the private property signs - they only apply to the sides of the road! Pets must be leashed. The roads in are nice gravel roads.

It’s a nice escape on the front range

Indian Creek was pleasant and I would return. Attractive sites available with trees and grass. Most sites are better suited for tents or vans. I was able to fit a 20 ft travel trailer, but there’s only a handful of trailer sites. No hookups. Cell service was zero with ATT and Verizon. We hiked Indian Creek, but it was very hot. You can hike a portion along Bear Creek for a few miles which was the best part. Lots of hikers, mtn bikers, and horses. The camp host did check in and was very helpful and friendly. Good option close to Denver.

Good pull in camping spot

Well taken care of and easy to pull into. There is a small trail you can hike. Pet friendly with a leash. I visited in off season for the trail, the picture is from the snow left on the drive into the sites.

Great place

Very pretty! We camped on the last weekend of the season (Sept 27th). It was $22 a night at that time. You pay via a drop box with cash and there’s no change available. You’re definitely in bear country and they do a good job of warning you. The area is mainly populated by people coming out to ride ATVs or dirt bikes, so expect to hear them for sure. This is a small campground with only two loops. Both loops have a bathroom (hole in the ground type) with no running water. No trash cans avaliable. Each loop has about 4 campsites. First come first serve. We came out at 6 pm on a Friday night and there were about 3 spots left, which filled up quickly. If you miss the campsite, there are others up Rampart Road that would you can use as a back up (those are free). Overall I enjoyed it and would come again!
