"Small campground next to three lakes. One lake has dried up. Beautiful Gould, CO. We also boondock camp in this area as well. Don't miss Lake Agnes. It's at the top of a mountain."

$40 - $60 / night

$29 - $88 / night

"Firewood sold next to the entrance by the same husband and wife that have been selling firewood there for 35 years. There is a shed full of firewood."
"The spaces are large, but quite close to one another with few trees for privacy. Each site here is variable, with some open with no trees and others nestled in some mature trees."
GuideNice small campground between Kremmling and Yampa. You cannot reserve sites, it is first come first serve sites only and the sites are only $20 per night (Prior to 2024 they were $10 per night). It is managed by the Forest Service, clean vault toilets and a great place for ATV trail riding, many sites offer plenty of shade too.
TravelerThe coordinates are a bit early on 4. Roads are easy to navigate. Continue up the road for multiple flat locations. Some of the roads were closed but 4 is open.
ScoutProbably about a mile into the woods on very smooth dirt roads, alot of places to park
ScoutI spent multiple days at this site due to its remote beauty. Campsites far apart, and it was quiet other than the occasional atv. Lots of chipmunks and hummingbirds due to the many wild flowers. Road gets tougher the further back you go, but my low clearance vehicle made it by driving slow. We'll worth the visit. Lots of Aspen!
TravelerGreat drive in, only about 25 minutes to town. Awesome stargazing! Bonus—cows nearby in the morning!
GuideIt was pretty busy when we arrived on a Saturday afternoon in July (non-holiday weekend), lots of groups camping and day use but was able to find a spot next to another group next to a path that lead straight to the water. Fee area for day/multiday pass. It was $5 for day pass. Beautiful area to camp or spend the day kayaking, SUP, fishing, etc.
TravelerDowdy is a busy campground but it's well cared for by the camp hosts. The bathrooms are clean and the sites are accessible by virtually any size of vehicle. The main challenge here is finding a spot!
TravelerThe roads coming up are manageable, but raked out in a few spots. There's several spots for tent camping behind the pull off spots on the side of the road after the reservoir. There is a pay station for the designated camping locations that have a path to the water. It's been quiet here during the week and the reservoir was pretty busy on the weekend. Several MTB trails closer to the highway.
GuideI was camping at dispersed sites on south side of lake when i noticed white smoke. I called 911 and helicopters came fast but the fire exploded from an acre to over 30 acres in about 10 minutes. It seems like a camper left an unattended illegal fire camping on north side and caused a massive fire that has burned the entire area now. I made it out safely and i’m glad i got to experience this but it breaks my heart to know some absent minded person started this. I saw the cows fleeing, bears running away and wildlife booking it out. Please don’t start fires during high winds and follow the signs showing fires are not allowed - this was preventable
