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.
Perched at about 9,000 feet east of Huntsville along Highway 39, Monte Cristo Campground sits in a forest of aspen and spruce where summer wildflowers carpet the meadows and autumn leaves produce vivid color. The road to the site is itself part of the draw the scenic drive through Ogden Canyon and along Highway 39 is popular with motorcyclists and road cyclists and trails radiate outward for hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders and off-highway vehicle users.











Length limits vary by campsite.

“Not many people there, and we were far from a restroom, so the host let us change our location so that we were right across from the restroom. Thanks, B. Madsen”

Sites open for booking 4 months ahead (Recreation.gov rules).
For July weekends, book about 116 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 66 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.
| Arrival month | Fri/Sat arrivals: half booked at least | A quarter at least | Other days: half booked at least | A quarter at least |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| July | 66 days ahead | 116 days ahead | 54 days ahead | 118 days ahead |
| August | 39 days ahead | 85 days ahead | 52 days ahead | 114 days ahead |
| September | 39 days ahead | 91 days ahead | 19 days ahead | 105 days ahead |
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 (2,883 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.
