Small FS Campground

Stayed here for two nights while hiking trails in the area. Small 5 site loop with 2 pull through sites #1&5. Very clean pit toilet. Water between sites 4&5. I stayed on a Tues and Wed night and I was the only one in the CG. I saw a big bear right at the road near the CG entrance. They don’t have bear boxes in the campground. The CG sits next to a small lake fed by two cascading streams. A nearby hike, 2.5 miles one way, takes you to Mosquito Lake. Very beautiful.

Favorite campground

Most of the other reviews are for Cold Springs CG near Blackhawk. This CG is actually near Yampa. There is a small lake with a couple of waterfalls feeding it. Only 5 sites. Water and pit toilet. Sites have table and fire pit. The Forest service has been upgrading with new tables. Several hikes nearby..

Great for fishing and hanging out

We had a large group here for a fishing intro trip and we were basically solo. We were able to hang around the water and have a safe camping space with ample space. There are tent pads and RV pull ins too.

The bathrooms were well taken care of and the trash was picked up. There is a season for this campground so make sure it is open and it slightly snowed on us when we were out there in October.
