The Centennial Bike Trail is a paved, accessible recreation trail that connects Red Rocks Group Campground to Manitou Lake Picnic Area, Colorado and South Meadows Campgrounds. The trail is popular among hikers, roller bladers and bicyclists. The nearby Rainbow Falls OHV Trail System and North Divide OHV Trail System are recommended for off-road vehicle enthusiasts. Manitou Lake is a short drive away, and is great for picnics and trout fishing. Canoeing is also a popular activity.

The site is equipped with picnic tables and a campfire circle with benches. Additional tables and grills are scattered throughout the area. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided.
This rustic group site is situated in a ponderosa pine forest at an elevation of 8,200 feet. A nearby hiking trail leads to a unique red sandstone formation. Most of Red Rocks Group Campground is shaded by ponderosa pine trees.

We love walking here. This place is very clean and you never see trash lying around. They keep the trash cans empty and the bathrooms kept up. Every time we have family come into town we make sure and do a hike here. We love that it’s free and beautiful
Beautiful place for a short hike. Not many people were there on the day I went. Park at the main road and follow the footsteps!
Great hiking trail that is easy with little elevation gain. The rocks are lovely and a great place for families to spend some time. I went on a Sunday morning around 9 and did not run into too many others.
A definite hidden gem. Great place for a small hike. Easily climb and explore the rocks.
The Red Rocks Group Campground Trail, located just outside Woodland Park is a must-do for visitors to the area. It's about a 10 minute drive north of Woodland Park on Highway 67. Watch for signs directing you to the Red Rocks Campground (to the right) make the turn, and drive until you get to a parking area just short of some overhead power lines. Follow the marked trail into the Red Rocks area, and you'll be amazed at the rock formations in the middle of this forest, likely deposited by glaciers. This is a dirt trail, and I suspect it would be slippery / difficult in wet weather. But, we hiked on a clear day, are both 69 years old, and I was wearing an arm brace form a recent surgery. We did just fine, even tho there is a slight gain in elevation as you go. ENJOY !
