Mike Higbee State Wildlife Area provides primitive camping access within a 4,000-acre wildlife management area managed by Colorado Parks & Wildlife. The campground accommodates drive-in access along dirt roads that can become challenging during wet conditions.
Located in southeastern Colorado's shortgrass prairie, the area serves hunters and wildlife watchers targeting waterfowl, upland birds, and deer. Campers should prepare for minimal facilities and pack water, as amenities are limited. The site works well as a base for exploring places to camp around Lamar or accessing nearby agricultural communities. Spring and fall offer the most comfortable camping temperatures in this high plains environment.
Description
