McClure Campground
McClure Campground, near Marble, Colorado, is a straightforward spot for those looking to escape into nature without the frills. With ten spacious sites, it’s a great place to pitch a tent or park your RV, but be ready to pack in your own supplies since there’s no drinking water or firewood available.
Visitors have noted the beauty of the area, though some have mentioned that it can get a bit noisy due to the nearby highway. Each site comes with a picnic table and fire pit, perfect for evening gatherings under the stars. One camper shared, “Spent one night here, besides being right off the highway this place is amazing!”
While it’s a free camping option, it fills up quickly, especially on weekends. If you’re planning a trip, arriving early is key to snagging a spot. The campground is surrounded by stunning natural scenery, with opportunities for wildlife spotting, including deer and other animals. Just remember, it’s a pack-in, pack-out situation, so leave no trace behind.
If you’re up for a little adventure, the remote location means you’ll need to drive a bit to find gas or cell service, but that’s part of the charm for those seeking solitude. McClure Campground is a solid choice for a night or two of camping, especially if you appreciate a quiet, rustic experience.
