Managed by the Yampa Ranger District. This campground is located in the Bear River area of the Flat Tops Wilderness, 14 miles southwest of Yampa on Forest Development Road 900. This campground is in a large wooded area that makes a small loop with 43 sites + 4 double sites and 1 triple site making it a popular place for RV’s and families with children.
From Downtown Yampa, Forest Road 900 is located just past the local General Store, (Montgomery’s). The 900 road begins with 6.4 miles of pavement with the remainder 8 miles being gravel road. Bear River Campground is on the left side.
Love love love the southern areas of Colorado. Especially Spanish Peak country.
Such a beautiful place.
Lake is a quick 5 minute walk from the campground. Lots of trout in the lake. Water is COLD 😜
Clean restrooms and nice campground. Host was helpful but ran out of firewood fast. I'd suggest bringing your own.
Would definitely be visiting again. Being cold camping gear!
So beautiful!! My dogs and I had so much fun. The water is so clear you can see the fish going after your line.
Great place. Not difficult to find either. Bear lake is only a short 4 min hike. The even clearer blue lake is about 30 min I believe by walk and filled with fun trout. There is water pump, several out-houses, and a lovely stream the runs through the campground. For firewood you need to buy it at blue lake campground. They have several good bear safe containers for your trash as well.
Cold windy day at Bear Lake outside Cuchara, CO. Elevation is around 10,400 and the road to Blue and Bear lake is well maintained. We caught a couple of fish and released them. Camp sites are primitive with vault toilets. It was a great day to visit the area after leaving Santa Fe Trails Ranch, Trinidad, CO this morning.
