Big Cimarron Campground stretches along the Big Cimarron River with sites shaded by a mix of Spruce and Cottonwood trees. There are 10 campsites with about half of the sites adjacent to the river. The campground is especially popular during hunting season. A horse corral across from the campground may be available if not being used by range permittees for ranching operation. There is no drinking water at this site, but water is available 2 miles south at the Silver Jack Campground. There are no close communities to get provisions so visitors need to bring everything they need. This is bear country. Please practice safe food storage techniques.
From Cimarron, CO, take US Rt. 50 east 2.2 miles to Forest Access/Silver Jack Reservoir sign. Turn right onto gravel road and go 6.1 miles to an intersection (RDP 77). Bear left onto RDP 77 (dirt - rocky and rough in places) and go 9.5 miles to campground sign. Turn right at sign into campground.
Beautiful and away from the other campers. It was clean and peaceful.
Secluded campground, pit toilets, and fresh, cold water available from the stream behind the campsites on the right side as you drive into the campground. $12/night for single sites.
Very chill place to camp. And the workers do a great job with keeping it a chill place.
