The campground is first-come, first-served, so don't even try to come here during the summer unless you're arriving early on Friday (and preferably Thursday afternoon instead). There's some good hiking nearby, the Lost Creek Wilderness is close, and right around the campground itself are two good hikes. The first is an easy trail up the giant rock formation overshadowing the campground. The second trail begins behind the walk-in campsites and takes you for a nice loop through the forest. The river is good for tubing and fishing. Drinking water is available via a hand-operated pump.Directions:From Florissant, CO, take US Rt. 24 west 5.6 miles to Tarryall sign (County Rt. 77). Turn right at sign onto Rt. 77 and go 13.7 miles to a tent symbol sign. Turn right onto a dirt road into campground.Open May 13 through October 10; $9 per day.
