      South Fork Rustic Campground

      Rustic and Scenic Campground Located in the White River National Forest

      This is a bare bones remote campground with assigned sites and vault toilets. There is no potable water on site, so bring plenty of water for your stay. The 18 sites are on a first come basis and can't be reserved.

      I don't own horses, but have seen some in the area so it is equestrian friendly. The campground is located in a canyon with high cliffs and there are several hiking and backpacking trails that branch off from the campground. The south fork of the white river runs through the campground affording good fly fishing.

      While you can get to the campground in a standard automobile the gravel road is rutted in places as you get close to the campground and can become dicey in heavy rain or snow for the last mile or two. 

      I have been there numerous times as early as July and as late as September when snow can be expected.

      Winiger Ridge at Gross Reservoir

      Good spot!

      Site 5 was a great spot for a bigger group. It was nice to be tucked away in the corner with no groups behind us or next to us. There were other campers near by but it felt pretty private. The weather was great. We didn’t make it to the gross reservoir but it was nice to have the option of a good hike near by. It is very important that you have a high clearance car to drive on the road. It’s a lot like off roading on some parts. I would go back!

      Indian Paintbrush Campground—Bear Creek Lake Park

      Best of City Camping

      Close proximity to the highway. Clean level spots. Geared more towards RV camping. Pros: great views of the foothills. Lots of park amenities like horse stables, archery range, swim beach, boat rentals, hiking trails, picnic areas. Con: Orange glow of Home Depot sign at night and no shade during the day. Your camping reservation (strongly recommended) includes park admission.

      Lodgepole - Jefferson

      Close to everything!

      The Lodgepole and all of the Jefferson campgrounds provide great access to the Colorado trail. I’ve camped here several times, but be sure to catch it in the fall! The colors are amazing. Just a short drive to Jefferson Lake, or you can hop on the Colorado trail just across the road. Not the most secluded sites, but plenty of trees and shade to feel private enough.

      Lakeview Campground

      Great campground near Twin Lakes

      Finally checked out this campground and will definitely return. The campground’s location on the hillside allows for an excellent view of Twin Lakes and the surrounding mountains. Also close to the South Mt Elbert and Colorado Trail for easy hiking. Basic amenities (toilets, drinking water, trash, etc.) and no showers.

      Kenosha Pass Campground

      Great experience, conveniently located by Colorado Trail

      This was a great stay, conveniently located just down 285 for a short get away during the work week.  We stayed for 3 days and during that time there were only a few other campers here. All of the sites are surrounded by trees, there is quite a bit of shade, and  even though it is very close to 285 I thought the road noise was pretty minimal.  The campground is very clean, the camp sites were nicely spaced out, the vaulted toilets were very clean, even though we had brought plenty of water there is a water pump (we did not use it so can't speak to it), and having a trash dumpster on the grounds was convenient.  The camp host, Dan, was very nice and we saw him on multiple days so it's nice to know there is someone around day or night.  The trailhead for section 6 of the Colorado Trail is right next to the campgrounds so we checked out a portion while we were here and loved it.  There is no Verizon service anywhere on the campgrounds

      Sugarloaf Campground

      Small, Quite Campground at the End of the Road

      Located in the Arapaho National Forest, Sugarloaf is a small campground found on the Williams Fork of the Colorado River. The valley was once heavily forested but is much more open these days.

      Cleared of timber a few years back due to Pine Beetle infestation, the campground is spartan with little shade or site separation. It's at the end of a dead end road making road noise minimal. The good news is that it's uncrowded and easy to secure a first come, first served site, and the trees are growing back.

      There are 11 spaces many of which will accommodate RVs (we were able to fit our 30' class C), most will fit small travel trailers/pop-up campers, and all have space for tents. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring with a horse shoe pit located in the middle of the campground. There is a pit toilet and water well though the well has not been functional for some time. Trash dumpsters are on site, and water is available at South Fork campground a short distance away. While amenities are limited, activities are plentiful.

      Fishing on the Williams fork is fair to good for Brook Trout with the occasional Brown Trout being caught. Pressure is generally light upstream from Sugarloaf and a bit more congested downstream where the stream is slightly larger. Once you're tired of fishing, there are numerous hiking trails to be explored.

      Leaving from the the immediate area are the Darling Creek trail, the South Fork trail, the Kinney Creek trail and 4x4 road, the Ute Peak trail, and further north, the Williams Peak trail. There are also multiple Geocaches located nearby. Best bet here is to purchase a trail guide for more specifics on the area. Be sure to check with the Hot Sulphur Springs Ranger district as fires have damaged or closed many locations.

      If you're looking for a laid back peaceful camping experience, Sugarloaf may just be the place for you!

      Guanella Pass

      Favorite Campground on the Pass

      I absolutely love this campground. There are two loops on either side of the main road and I recommend the one by the creek. There are 4 sites that are down by the creek in the trees that are walk-in only but have the most space between them and are right on the creek. They are my favorite spots on site.

      There are pit toilets available that are well maintained and there is water access. There is also a dumpster for trash. This site is better for large rigs too. There are multiple sites where you can easily back right in.

      It is really quiet at night and the creek gives off a beautiful white noise for those that are close to it. This campground is very busy during the weekends in Colorado but you can most likely find a spot any day during the week.

      This area is an absolutely gorgeous forest setting and is totally what you might have imagined for a Colorado camping experience. Easy access to the Bierstadt trail if you are a 14er hiker and a really fun road bike route up and down Guanella Pass. You are also less than 20 mins from Georgetown so it is also a good spot for you to have a basecamp.

    Guide to Breckenridge

    Dispersed camping sites surround Breckenridge, Colorado at elevations ranging from 9,000 to 11,000 feet with temperature drops of 30-40 degrees between day and night. Free camping options require preparedness for primitive conditions with most sites lacking formal infrastructure. Several forest roads provide access to designated dispersed areas with established fire rings.

    What to do

    Hiking the Colorado Trail: Access the Colorado Trail from Kenosha Pass Campground for day hikes through aspen forests. "This was a great stay, conveniently located just down 285 for a short get away during the work week... The trailhead for section 6 of the Colorado Trail is right next to the campgrounds so we checked out a portion while we were here and loved it," notes Steve C.

    Fishing in mountain streams: The creeks in Kirby Gulch offer trout fishing opportunities. "Across the road is the creek where the dogs (and humans) lived it up!" shares JT S. The site provides multiple creek access points along its 43 designated camping areas.

    Wildlife viewing: Early morning drives provide opportunities to spot native wildlife. "We were lucky and came in during the week and there was almost no one. It was also October and a little cool, snow in the mountain tops... We saw a moose!" reports one camper about the Twin Lakes area.

    What campers like

    Natural seclusion: Twin Lakes Dispersed Camping offers private sites with mountain views. "If you have a 4x4 vehicle and can make your way toward the trailhead for south Mt Elbert, there are some amazing spots. A few spots allow you to pull off and set up a tent with great views," writes Brielle E.

    Proximity to trails: Campers appreciate sites that connect directly to hiking paths. "The Lodgepole and all of the Jefferson campgrounds provide great access to the Colorado trail. I've camped here several times, but be sure to catch it in the fall! The colors are amazing," recommends Steph A.

    High elevation views: Lakeview Campground provides panoramic vistas of Twin Lakes and surrounding peaks. "The campground's location on the hillside allows for an excellent view of Twin Lakes and the surrounding mountains. Also close to the South Mt Elbert and Colorado Trail for easy hiking," notes Alex H.

    What you should know

    Vehicle requirements: Many dispersed sites require high-clearance or 4WD vehicles. "Super bumpy roads - must have an SUV or truck... As you drive in, you're met with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains," warns Katelyn W. about Kirby Gulch.

    Weather preparation: Mountain weather changes rapidly year-round. "We did some dispersed camping. It was quiet, serene, and gorgeous. The temperature dropped a bit more than we anticipated but stuck it out," reports Erica S. about camping near Guanella Pass.

    Water availability: Most dispersed sites lack water sources. At South Fork Rustic Campground, "There is no potable water on site, so bring plenty of water for your stay. The 18 sites are on a first come basis and can't be reserved," explains Daniel S.
