In Nathrop, CO, at intersection of US Rt. 285 and County Rt. 162, take Rt. 162 west 9.7 miles to campground sign. Turn left at sign into campground.
Beautiful campground near Mt Princeton Hot Springs. Every site seems secluded. Absolutely lovely!!
Beautiful place. Very quite. Just stopped in to check it out on way back from St. Elmo. Got a one nighter in between reservations. Camp hosts were nice and actually from Colorado for a change.
i stayed here just after labor day 2017. this is a great campground..very clean. the views are beautiful. the spaces are spaced just far enough apart that you still have privacy. there were only about 4 campers here after the holiday weekend. the camp hosts were a nice older couple i believe from texas. they were very welcoming. every night a few of the campers got together with the hosts for a bonfire and conversation.. i was invited and it was really nice way to end your evenings. cant wait to go back this year!
There are several campgrounds to choose from along Chalk Creek and I think this one is one of the prettiest. It’s also further from the road making it a bit more quiet. We chose a walk in tent spot along the back loop and it was fantastic. The sites are spacious and well spaced. We stayed at site 7. You do have to walk up some steps to access the tent pad, picnic table and fire pit. You can hike right outside your camp. The hosts were amazingly friendly and knowledgeable about the area. On their advice we drove up to St. Elmo and also to Iron City Cemetery (located at another campground near St. Elmo). We also did an easy hike up to Agnes Vaille falls which is close by. The only downside is there are no bear lockers, so you have to store stuff in your vehicle. We were warned by the hosts that there was an active bear in the area the week we camped here.
