Forest Road 415, Yeoman Park, Eagle, CO
Midweek hikers and anglers who can haul their own water. Lake Charles Trail starts here, brook trout run Brush Creek, and the spaced-out Loop A forest sites stay cool even on July afternoons. Holiday weekends fill fast with no reservations available.
No potable water on-site means hauling everything from Eagle, 15 miles out. No showers either. Loop B had no picnic tables as recently as 2022, and no cell signal means any emergency coordination runs through that same 30-minute drive.

The elevation is 9,000 ft. The campground is composed of two loops - A & B, stretching out along the edge of a park or meadow with East Brush Creek meandering down the middle. Loop A camp sites are tucked back into a pleasant mixture of mature conifers with some sites facing out into the park. Loop B sites are on a grassy knoll with aspen providing some shade. The campground has excellent wildlife viewing opportunities from red-tail hawks to an extensive beaver community. Foundations of an old Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp can be found in a meadow northeast of campground. The campground is convenient to the Holy Cross Wilderness, the old mining town of Fulford and Fulford Cave, a natural cave for experienced cavers. This is bear country; practise safe food storage techniques and use the provided bear-proof food storage boxes.
Services provided May 23 through September 30 - weather dependent White River National Forest 686 While leaving Little Maud campground, above, a spring on the authors travel trailer broke. They were miles from an RV repair place but nearby was a house with a small welding shop next door. What else could they do but ask for help. They did and the folks in the welding shop were great!!! It was a long day but by dinner time the trailer was fixed and the authors were on their way. Just another example of the great people the authors have met throughout this great land of ours.
The one wheelchair friendly vault is located at entrance to Loop A.
The parking aprons are dirt and grass. The interior road has several potholes.

Summer (late June through early September) brings daytime highs of 55–75°F and nights in the 30s–40s. Snow clears the trails by late June, opening up hiking and fishing access. Wildflowers peak in July. Weekends fill up, especially holiday weekends, so midweek visits offer quieter conditions. Shoulder seasons get muddy when warm afternoons thaw snowpack in the parking areas. Reviewers mention this as a minor hassle but note it's just part of visiting during transitions at this elevation.
Best season: trails open late June, wildflowers peak in July, comfortable daytime temps (55–75°F).
Yeoman Park Campground offers a range of amenities primarily focused on providing a rustic and natural camping experience. Restrooms are available, but potable water is not provided on-site. The campground features vault toilets, including wheelchair-friendly options, and bear-proof food storage containers. Some campsites are equipped with picnic tables and fire grills, though Loop B lacks tables during the 2022 season. "The vault toilets were absolutely the cleanest, best-smelling vault toilets I have ever used!" said one user. Trash must be packed out as no waste station or trash facilities are available.
