Matchless Campground - Turquoise Lake
Located in the highest city in the US, Matchless Campground sits on Turquoise Lake. A 10-15 minute drive from downtown Leadville. Turquoise Lake offers beautiful and breathtaking views of Mt. Elbert and Mt. Massive. Leadville is known as Cloud City and rightly deserves the name as the cloud formations are beyond compare. Matchless is conveniently located by the boat ramp and they have facilities there. Currently the surrounding campgrounds are closed but Matchless offers free camping until October but the facilities are not maintained since the camp host has left for the season. There are trails that surround the lake making for excellent trail running/riding/hiking. There are also lots of perfect photo opportunity spots and plenty of trees to hang hammocks on.
