Camping at Cold Springs - Arapaho Roosevelt Nf (Co) near Morrison

Public campground · Morrison · 40 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

The area around Cold Springs is as much about short hikes and scenic drives as it is about pitching a tent. An easy family-friendly trail leaves directly from the campground, and the short but steep quarter-mile Vista Trail climbs to wide views over the Mount Evans Wilderness and the valley below.

How far ahead to book Cold Springs - Arapaho Roosevelt Nf (Co)

For July weekends, book about 173 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 147 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (6,191 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
