At an elevation of 9,813 feet, Geneva Park Campground offers cooler temperatures during the hottest of summer months. Along the Guanella Pass Scenic Byway, this campground is near prime spots for wildlife viewing, scenic driving, landscape photography, hiking and accessing roads open to off-highway vehicles. Natural Features: The campground sits in a dense stand of lodgepole pine, which limits mountain views. Sites are nicely separated to provide privacy. The Geneva Creek flows past the campground entrance. Pikes Peak is about 67 miles south and is heralded as the easternmost mountain peak over 14,000 feet in the United States. Recreation: Mount Evans Wilderness is directly east of the campground and the Abyss Trailhead, sometimes referred to as the Scott Gomer Trail, is a short drive south of the campground. Burning Bear Trail, just 2 miles south of the campground, is a wonderful trail for hiking and horseback riding. Facilities: Geneva park has 26 campsites to accommodate both RV and tent camping. Drinking water, vault toilets, picnic tables and grills are provided. Parking aprons are dirt and the interior road may be rough and bumpy. Nearby Attractions: The drive down Highway 126 from Pine Junction affords magnificent views of the valleys below. Pikes Peak can be seen in the distance and other prominent rock formations present themselves throughout the scenic drive. ACTIVITIES Biking: Mountain Biking Hiking Hunting Wildlife Viewing

My friend and I had an amazing experience at this campground!! The host was so so kind and I could tell she genuinely cared about the campground and the residents! I would go back in a heartbeat!!
Amazing campground with wonderful scenery! The campground host is AMAZING! She was friendly, helpful and just wonderful!
Great site! Lots of room, just be sure to arrive early in the day as it fills up quick. Most of the sites are pretty well situated away from other campers.
The scenery is pretty great and some of the camp sites are a descent size, with a few sites fitting 17 campers comfortably. The bathrooms are cleaned regularly and there's no noticeable trash from previous campers. Its a short drive from Denver making it a very popular camp ground for those who don't want to travel too far. My three star rating is only because the campsites where a little to close together and in the silence of nature I often could hear the camp site a little too clearly. This campground has access to well water via a hand pump which is super great to have. The area in general has some pretty breathe taking views.
Good camp ground, great bathroom facilities! The sites are not all exclusively private- somewhat noisy depending on the site you are at. We were between two sites- one with a group of gals and another with a older couple and someone snores like a freight train all night. We heard everything from both sites- would not recommend site #26 but there are others that are farther apart. Great spot for close hiking- near a water source, very nice!!
