About the campground
The elevation is 6,400 ft. The campground, located just north of the Cache La Poudre Wilderness, is composed of two sections along the Cache La Poudre Wild and Scenic River. Each section has its own entrance, 0.1 miles apart. The first section is a grassy open meadow and very RV friendly with camp sites along the river's bank. The second section is for walk-in tent campers only with sites tucked in among Ponderosa pines and small scattered boulders. This section enjoys a very attractive location. Tents must be placed on hard surfaces only, not grass. The tent pads include tie-downs. The river can be heard throughout the campground. The campground is located just west of the geological feature called the "Narrows" - a cleft where the river has cut through rock walls.
