Ophir Creek Road

3 ReviewsAdd Review

Creek sounds and low crowds define the experience at Ophir Creek Road, a dispersed camping area in San Isabel National Forest near Beulah, Colorado. Sites sit directly alongside the creek, shaded by a dense mix of deciduous and conifer trees, with steep wooded slopes rising on both sides of the road. AT&T service has worked well here. One note worth flagging: No Trespassing signs at the campground entrance leave hiking access unclear, so arrive with other plans for foot travel. Nearby, Ophir Creek and other campgrounds near San Isabel National Forest give campers additional options for the area. Afternoon thunderstorms are common and can be intense, but the site rewards those who wait them out.

Absolutely beautiful

The Ophir Creek campground is at the bottom. You can sometimes hear the campers but not enough to bother you. Plus you can hear the traffic from the highway but again not enough to disrupt anything. There are a few campsites maybe 10 or less but there is one absolutely beautiful spot up there that we have stayed at twice. There are beautiful rock cropping surrounding the spot. Close to home about 30 minutes so will be back.

Ophir Creek won’t be free for long!

It’s an easy drive from Westcliff. Too easy. I expected crowds of out of state tourists and maybe a few locals. But to my surprise it was virtually empty.i grabbed a cozy site right next to the creek. Lovely sounds.

The environs where I camped was a dense mix of deciduous and conifer trees., and on either side of the road and campsites, there were very steep, heavily wooded slopes. But a confusing feature are the No Trespassing signs as you enter the campground. I don’t know where the hiking is.

My phone and WiFi (through my phone) worked very well. I have AT&T currently and there was no one here to ask about other carriers.

In the late afternoon there was one of the biggest storms I’ve ever experienced. The thunder was loud, extended and close! Leaving did cross my mind. But two hours later it was quiet again. Glad I stayed.

SiteThere are no numbered sites. sites have a fire hole lined with more concrete than rock..there is also weathered red picnic tables and 4x6 beams, also the same red, as seating in front of the fire pits.
