Go if

Tent campers and anglers who want a quiet base for the Flat Tops. Summer daytime temps in the 60s, tree-covered sites with decent privacy, and Yamcolo Reservoir and Bear Lake within easy reach. Bring exact cash, no card reader on site.

Skip if

No potable water means hauling your own, and this is genuinely wild country. One reviewer watched a mountain lion stalk a friend near camp. First-come only with just 7 sites, so showing up on a summer Friday without a backup plan is a gamble.

Overview

<p><img alt="Horseshoe Campground" src="http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_MEDIA/stelprdb5183584.jpg" style="width: 40%; height: 40%; float: right;" />Located off Forest Service Road 900 in Yampa, CO. This is a small, quiet campground that makes a loop with&nbsp;7 campsites among the trees, lending a feeling of privacy surrounded by the scenic 235,000 acre Flat Tops Wilderness, so bring your camera for these postcard views.</p><p>Each site offers a picnic table and a fire grate.<br />Sites can accomodate trailers up to 25 feet in length.</p><p>Additionally, those interested in hiking can access&nbsp;<a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mbr/recarea/?recid=34089">Mandall Lakes</a>, <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mbr/recarea/?recid=34100">Smith Lake</a>, and <a href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/mbr/recarea/?recid=23070">Stillwater Trailhead</a>&nbsp;nearby within a short drive along Forest Service Road 900. The trailheads&nbsp;are all clearly marked with a sign and can be seen from the road.&nbsp;</p><p>This area also offers great fishing, wading and floating at the surrounding reservoirs (Yamcolo Reservoir, Bear Lake, and Stillwater Reservoir.)&nbsp;</p><p><em>Boaters and fishermen should take pre-caution for their own safety by steering clear of the bridge at the dam on Bear Lake for their own safety as there is a spillway&nbsp;that could make it dangerous for those on the water if going near the spillway.</em></p><p><em>If the campground is full, there are many other camping opportunities outside of the campground along Forest Service Road 900 leading to the campground. These are designated dispersed sites that are located outside of the campground and cost $10 per night and all sites offer a picnic table and fire grate.</em>&nbsp;</p><div class="usa-alert usa-alert--info usa-alert--slim"><div class="usa-alert__body"><p class="usa-alert__text">This site was approved for a fee change - <a class="usa-link" href="https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/mbr/fire/?cid=FSEPRD1092198">Click here for more information</a></p></div></div>
