Erickson Springs Campground is in a dense spruce and fir forest setting near Anthracite Creek and receives little sunlight so it is cooler than much of the surrounding area. Each site has a tent pad and can accommodate smaller camping trailers, a picnic table and combination fire ring/grill. There is a picnic area prior to the campground with 2 tables and a restroom and a separate ATV parking area near the campground. The Dark Canyon Trailhead is just past the campground and accesses the Dark Canyon Trail #830. The parking area accommodates horse trailers for equestrian access into the Raggeds Wilderness Area. OHV/ATV users ride the nearby Forest Road #795 (Munsey Creek Road) that extends north from Erickson Springs Campground to the Raggeds Trailhead, Raggeds Trail #820. Campground Brochure
From Paonia, travel northeast for approximately 14 miles on State Highway 133, to County Road 12 (Kebler Pass Road). Turn east and travel approximately 6 miles. Just after crossing the bridge, turn left onto the Erickson Springs Campground road. This turn is for Erickson Springs Recreation Area that includes the Campground, Picnic Site and the Dark Canyon Trailhead.
