South Mineral Campground — San Juan National Forest
Reviewed Jun. 18, 2023

Beautiful Setting

Stayed at campsite #17 in early June. Large campsite near intersection of campground roads; some traffic driving by. Campground wasn't crowded during our stay. Site was across road from vault toilets, and a few sites away from the nearest water station. Vault toilets were very clean & had tp. Elevation of campground is over 9800 feet. Snow was still on the ground in places. Overnight temperatures around 30 degrees F. Firewood was available for sale. Campground hosts were great! Kept the campground clean & safe. Campsite included metal fire ring & table. Site had great views of nearby mountains. The trailhead for Ice Lakes Trail is near campground entrance. Forest road accessing the campground was easy to drive for any vehicle. Pass a handful of walk-in dispersed tent sites on the way. South Mineral Creek & Clear Creek flow along side campground, providing fishing opportunities. Overall beautiful campground.
