The San Isabel National Forest manages this 4WD trailhead campground that serves as a staging area for backcountry access in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. South Colony 4WD Trailhead sits at high elevation west of Crestone, requiring a high-clearance vehicle to reach the camping area. The site provides WiFi connectivity and functions primarily as a base for hikers heading into the wilderness area.
Campers can access hiking trails directly from the campground, with options for both drive-in camping and walk-in sites for those who prefer to hike in from the road. The location attracts backpackers and day hikers planning extended trips into the surrounding peaks and valleys.
