"Getting to the campground and visitors center is easy as they are both right off the highways 41 and 14, but it is quite a drive to get to, in general."
"Fishing, hiking, off-roading, kayaking or canoeing, or simply sightseeing - there are big mountain vistas to enjoy."
$35 / night

"I tent camped at Ranger Lakes. I was the only one tent camping among all the RV’s. I didn’t mind that the spaces were visible from each other since I was camping alone."
$28 / night

$32 - $73 / night

The campground is nestled at the base of Shadow Mountain with the Colorado River running alongside the campground. "

TravelerI would’ve given 5 stars but there are no showers. Otherwise, perfect!
ScoutWe got to the place where the pin is and there was nothing, right there we lost service and started to be a little worried because it was getting dark, drove a little more up in the same road and found a spot right next to a trail, it was clear someone camped there because there was a fire pit, it was very cold but the night was beautiful.
TravelerAlways nice being next to the river as of beginning of May there’s no bugs as of yet but still cold Nights. They did they switch of camp hosts and the folks that were there with the bus were absolutely amazing. The new guy seems very straight forward to business. Got here and he pulled up and asked “your only staying one night” “ did you pay yet” not In a friendly manner. Otherwise still a great site bathrooms are always well maintained.
ScoutHighly HIGHLY reccomend a vehicle with REAL high clearance. Dont bring your subaru. Dont bring your stock 4runner. Just dont. The holes here to get to a single campsite are massive and consistent the entire way through. Imagine if bombs dropped during one of the wars and landed in a field in front of you. The road looks like that, but narrow and full of mud and cow poop.
Good spot though.
Seriously.. we ended up taking the spot from a couple we had no idea about because their crosstrek got damaged and stuck and they were apparently dealing with that all night, overnight on one of the offshoots roads. We passed right by them and had no idea , and they had no idea of us either. They came to our camp the following morning seriously muddy and defeated. "AWEEEE NOO, we got stuck and finally got out and just wanted to see if our luck turned and maybe the spot was available"
You drive from the big city hoping to find a good spot... only to find panel damage and a night ruined unless youre very very prepared to make it and very very possibly be disappointed someone beat you there.
Again good spot though. But for what you go through?? Seek another location... turning around is not easy.
GuideThe burn scar is not as bad as it used to be and things are growing back! We were surrounded by wildlife the whole time with no other busy city noises. We saw a bunch of moose and even had one wander into our site. Great place for a one night stay.
ScoutWe had the entire loop to ourselves. Beautiful views and very private because no one was here in mid May.
TravelerThis was our first time dispersed camping and we loved it! The road was pretty mild but on up gets a lot more rough! The pull offs are great and most of them have fire rings.
ScoutNice spot, parts might be somewhat hard to get to in smaller vehicles, but we did fine to a good spot in a 2WD Promaster. My GPS from the coordinates just took me to the nearest town of Ward, CO.
This is how I got there coming from the North:
Take RT72 South to County Road 100. CR100 is on the left just past “Millsite Inn” (currently for sale so take the name with caution) From CR100, go about a mile or so and turn left onto Gold Lake Rd. Take that road a few miles back to Forest Road 372 on the left. There’s two entrances to FR372. Lots of campsites along FR372
If you keep going on Gold Lake Rd, you’ll run into signs noting private property and to turn around
