Developed campground camping with the following activities: Access to non-wilderness in the Sangre De Christo mountain range from the Rainbow trail. The Rainbow trail is a motorized trail which includes ATV and motorcycle use and runs along the foot of the Sangres. Wilderness trails, that climb above the Rainbow trail into the Sangres, are only accessed by foot or livestock. The closest wilderness trails include North Brush and South Brush. High Mountain lakes are accessible from the wilderness trails. Forest Service Road 198 is accessed from the Campground and will take you up to non-wilderness areas in the Sangres. Please check a map for other recreational opportunities close by the area.
From Westcliffe, CO, take State Rt. 69 north 12.2 miles to Lake Creek campground sign (County Rt. 198). Turn left onto Rt. 198 (dirt) and go 2.9 miles to campground sign. Turn right and go 0.1 miles into campground.
I am camp host this season. This is laid back quiet atmosphere.
It's an okay quiet spot for a couple nights. Fellow with the " creepy " comment must of expected a KOA ??? It's a small forest service campground folks ! I like i t because the huge RVS can't use it and i don't need to listen to their generators all night. It's about the peace and quiet.
