Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights2 sites open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Stove Prairie Campground sits on the banks of the Cache la Poudre River about 26 miles northwest of Fort Collins along Highway 14, framed by stands of ponderosa pine and aspen where the canyon opens from dense forest into grassy meadows and steep mountain slopes. The campground has nine single-family sites in total: five sites are set up to accommodate both RVs and tents, while four are walk-to tent-only sites.











Length limits vary by campsite.

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 (3,799 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.
