The Best Camping Near Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado

Found a great little location on the creek. The area was busy, but the spots were separated very well. Off the main road we found a lightly traveled side road that led to the perfect camping spot. While the main road is well taken care of, some of the side roads definitely require an off-road vehicle. This is definitely going to be a place that we revisit.

Quiet and Secluded

We found the perfect spot about 4-5 miles away from the turn off of hwy 40! There are about 20 sites along this road, this was one of few with a good amount of shade.

What a gift this site was! Went camping with a friend for 2 nights over the 4th of July. We found one of the last sites and it was lovely. Very little traffic- just a couple vans and ATVs. Things to note: the weather is incredibly unpredictable (pack a rain jacket) and with the joy of the stream comes the curse of 100000 flies. I wish I was exaggerating, but we were bombarded constantly whenever the sun was out. Still altogether wonderful!
