BIG CREEK LAKES CAMPGROUND (CO), CO

Description

Located thirty-five miles northwest of the town of Walden, Colorado. The campground is adjacent to Big Creek Lake. Telephone is 26 miles away; limited cellular reception may be available at specific points but is not reliable. Campground host is on site from mid-June to Mid-September. Campground has 54 campsite units. This campground offers boating and fishing on Colorado's second largest natural lake, hiking in the Mount Zirkel Wilderness and ATV trails nearby. There are also ample opportunities for wildlife viewing including moose.

Campsites 46-54 will be closed for the 2010 season. This area is closed pending logging operations of dead trees that are standing and lying on the ground in the campsites causing unsafe conditions.

Many trees were cut down in 2008 and 2009. The campground looks different but there are still trees left near each campsite.
