Camping at Little Maud Campground near Carbondale

Public campground · Carbondale · 21 campsites

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

About this campground

Recreation at Little Maud ranges from waterborne to backcountry: boaters, swimmers and water skiers use the reservoir, and the Ruedi Trail north of the lake climbs to Red Table Mountain (trailhead about 200 feet north of the Jeep trail near the boat ramp and parking lot); that eight-mile route gains roughly 3,000 feet and rewards hikers with wide panoramas. The White River National Forest beyond the campground supports many more pursuits biking and auto touring, horseback riding and horse camping, OHV routes, hunting, winter sports, visitor centers and interpretive programs, plus plentiful wildlife viewing (bighorn sheep, elk, pika, ptarmigan and diverse trout populations).

How far ahead to book Little Maud Campground

For July weekends, book about 164 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 77 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 (4,732 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.
