LegendQuiet thanks to the river
Just outside of South Fork, the campground sits above the River. It’s small, with only about a dozen sites. Even though the campground is right next to the highway, it was really quiet thanks to the River. There are two loops, and I preferred the bottom loop thanks to the River. Vault toilet was clean, and sites had the standard fire rings and picnic tables.

LegendGreat Roadside Camping
This is a NFS site along State highway 160 near South Fork Colorado. They have basic camps with fire rings, picnic tables, and pit toilets. The also have food lockers to protect from bears. The wooden site is beautiful in the Fall surrounded by the golden leaves of aspen trees and ponderosa pines. The highlight is the river side location and the beautiful views of the mountains. The site has a fairly high elevation which can provide cool summer temps and early frost even in September. Surprisingly, the site was half full in September. I would stay here again.
