Campfires crackle under open skies at this dispersed camping area in the Colorado foothills. Lion Canyon sits on public land where campers create their own sites among scattered trees and rocky terrain. The area allows fires, making it suitable for those who enjoy evening gatherings around flames.
Access requires navigating dirt roads that can become challenging in wet conditions. San Isabel National Forest Oak Creek Campground lies just north for campers wanting developed facilities. No water, restrooms, or trash services exist here, so visitors must pack in supplies and pack out waste.
