About Campground

Overview

There is an Upper and Lower campground, both available through the reservation link on this page - very close together.

Facilities

The campground offers accessible single-family sites, each equipped with a 12-by-15 tent pad, a picnic table and a campfire ring with grill.

Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. Dead and downed firewood may be gathered in the forest or purchased from the campground host.

Natural Features

The canyon's vegetation varies from dense forests to open meadows and the campground is surrounded by steep mountains. The campground is situated among Ponderosa pines on the banks of the Cache la Poudre River, Colorado's first river designated as a National Wild and Scenic River.

Charges & Cancellations

A $10.00 service fee will apply if you change or cancel your reservation. Late cancellations are subject to additional fees. For full details see NRRS Reservation Policy.

Directions

From Fort Collins, take Highway 14 northwest for 13 miles.

Love this little camp ground! Our last stay at the end of March was great and we loved our camp hosts.

Visited in mid-March during the week and there were plenty of sites available. The river is more of a creek at this time of the year but still a beautiful place to camp. The only campground open until May. Above 7500' all of the campgrounds and trailheads were still snowed in

Great campground in the Poudre River Valley. This year we needed our rain gear and bug spray. Far enough away from everything to disconnect but close enough drive to Fort Collins to enjoy one of the many great breweries.
