Little Annie Fishing and Gold Camp - Temporarily Closed

About Campground

We feel fortunate to own 13 acres on the Arkansas River. The property is gated with no public access. The campsites have really nice views in all directions. Some of the river, some of different Collegiate Peaks and some with really nice views of Mt. Elbert. People visit every Summer from all around the World to take a Crack at climbing Colorado’s tallest Mountain. (3rd tallest in the U.S.) About 1/2 mile away from our property is the Famous Colorado trail that runs from Denver to Durango. The beautiful Arkansas River is one of the most popular destinations in the U.S. for White Water Rafting. It also happens to be an extremely popular “Gold Medal” Trout Fishery.

There are local music festivals, art festivals, bike races, donkey races and much, much more!

If you are hoping to escape the summer heat!!! You will love the cool, crisp, clean air we have to offer. (No AC needed.) We are just East of the Continental Divide at approx. 9600 Ft. above Sea level. The Summer highs average from 67-74 degrees and it feels very exhilarating. However, it can be “chilly at night sometimes dipping close to freezing. Be prepared to wear layers for rapid temperature changes.

Directions

If you will text us a few hours before your arrival time we will text you a picture of a map that shows all of the campsites and their numbers.

We are on the Arkansas River (Hwy. 24) approximately 1/2 way between Buena Vista and Leadville near the the Hwy . 82 cut-off that goes to Aspen. You will be looking for large "tailings piles" from an 1880's gold mine That's right next to the river. We are on the west side of the river and the gated entry has a small grove of Aspens close to it. There is a black and white sign that says "Little Annie Private Drive No Parking." We are usually on the property or close by. So if you have any issues feel free to call or text us. (409) 392-8583
