Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.
The campground is a simple, high-elevation basecamp for fishing and hiking rather than a developed resort: trout anglers will find fishable water right on the South Fork of Clear Creek, and hikers can reach Silver Dollar Lake via a trail that climbs above treeline (the lake is not reachable by vehicle). Beyond the immediate sites, the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests offer auto touring, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, horseback routes and seasonal winter sports along several scenic byways, including nearby routes that climb to high alpine country.












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 (5,093 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.
