About this campground

The AA Bar Ranch (AA Barn) Group Picnic Site is a single reservable, day-use group site located on the Forest Service road network about 12 miles north of Granby on Highway 34, then a short drive east on County Road 66 to the Green Ridge Complex. It sits immediately adjacent to the Colorado River headwaters just below the Shadow Mountain Reservoir dam and shares a trailhead into Rocky Mountain National Park, so you'll have immediate access on foot to riverbanks, Forest Service trails and RMNP routes.
