Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
Kelly Dahl Campground sits along the Peak-to-Peak Scenic Byway just south of Nederland, placing you within easy reach of historic mining towns such as Rollinsville, Central City and Black Hawk. The campground rests at about 8,600 feet on a gentle ponderosa-pine slope; recent mountain pine beetle-related tree work has opened the canopy, so expect limited shade.












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 (7,866 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.
