Vic & Sigrid Hanson Memorial Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Managed by the city of Walden, this walk-in municipal park provides basic overnight camping in Colorado's North Park region. Amenities are minimal: picnic tables with partial shelter, toilets, and trash service. Cell service is available. Mosquitoes can be heavy through midsummer, so bug protection is worth packing. Campers who want more developed options can find campsites near Walden across North Park. Check-in requires a call to the Jackson County Sheriff's office before arriving. This site makes sense for self-sufficient campers needing a no-frills overnight stop in town.
