Fishing draws most visitors to Cimarron Campground, a US Forest Service site set within Cimarron National Grassland on the Colorado-Kansas border. Fish are active near the water adjacent to campsites, and wildlife, including coyotes, moves through the area at night. Sites are first-come, first-served, with tables, fire rings, and bear boxes at each one. Water is available throughout the campground, and vault toilets and trash service are on-site. No pets are permitted.
The access road includes roughly four miles of washboard gravel after the pavement ends, so arriving before dark is advisable. Bring your own firewood, as none is sold on-site, and check current fire restrictions on the USDA site before your trip.
