Best Time to Camp at Aspen Campground

Best
Summer(Jun-Aug)
4.0 / 5

Most accessible season; suitable for tent camping, stargazing and riverside enjoyment.

Fall(Sep-Nov)
3.0 / 5

Likely pleasant early fall, but high elevation shortens the season and access windows.

Spring(Mar-May)
2.0 / 5

Spring snowmelt and muddy access at 9,200 ft likely limit reliable use.

Winter(Dec-Feb)
Not recommended

No winter info; high elevation suggests snow/closure and limited winter usability.

Planning Tips

    About Aspen Campground

    Tucked away near the mountain town of Gould, Colorado, Aspen Campground offers an intimate escape into the wilderness with just seven secluded sites. Perched at 9,200 feet where the air is crisp and the stars shine brilliantly, this rustic retreat sits alongside the melodic waters of the South Fork of the Michigan River. Here, you'll discover the authentic Colorado backcountry experience—where simplicity meets natural splendor and every sunrise feels like a personal invitation from the mountains.
    Aspen Campground offers a primitive camping experience with minimal facilities and a natural setting.
