Wildlife in the area includes golden eagles, elk, mule deer, moose, chipmunks and porcupines. Recreation The Colorado Trail is located within one mile of the campground and offers abundant hiking, biking and horseback riding opportunities. The epic 471-mile trail stretches across Colorado from Denver to Durango. Visitors may also enjoy fishing in Hoosier Creek. Facilities No drinking water is available and the roads through the campground are dirt and gravel. Each loop has a parking spur, picnic table, campfire ring and grill. There are 2 vault toilets within the campground. Firewood may be purchased at the nearby Kenosha Pass Campground. Natural Features The family campsites are divided into two loops, that are separated by a rise. Both loops sit among a stand of aspen, spruce and lodgepole pines along Hoosier Creek. The campground sits at an altitude of 9,700 feet and features mild summer temperatures and cool nights.

From Denver, Colorado, take Highway 285 southwest to Park County Rd. 58. Turn right at County Rd. 58 and follow road to Forest Road 125. Turn right and follow road about 0.5 miles to the campground entrance.
If you have an RV, fill the fresh water tank before heading out since there is no water and nearby kenosha only has a hand pump and no easy way to fill the fresh water tank.
Also the dirt road to the campground is rough around the corners and we had to go super slow to avoid things flying out of the cabinets.
Nice campground, mostly reserved when we were there in August. But lucked up on a spit for one night. Quiet, respectful campground..pit toilets that were stocked and as clean as can be expected. Pack out your trash.
Road is little bit rough for the trailer,but short. No water, no host. Bathrooms are clean. In nice forest. No hiking trails. Colorado train is a short driving distance.
Beautiful scenery and you might see a moose or two.
A primitive campground and the road is a bit rough, but the views are worth it.
