Belle of Colorado

Perched at a breathtaking elevation of 9,894 feet, Belle of Colorado offers a true high-mountain escape within the heart of the Rocky Mountains. This USFS-managed site provides a rustic, authentic camping experience for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Colorado wilderness. Because it is a first-come, first-served location, visitors should be prepared for an adventurous trip where sites are claimed upon physical arrival.

The campground is designed for self-sufficient travelers who appreciate the simplicity of primitive camping. Facilities are basic, featuring vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings to help you settle into the mountain landscape. While firewood is available on-site, campers should come fully prepared for the high-altitude climate, which can be unpredictable regardless of the season. The area is open year-round, making it a versatile choice for those who enjoy the crisp air of the Rockies.

This site is best suited for tent campers and RV travelers who prioritize natural surroundings over modern amenities. Since there are no utility hookups, it is an ideal spot for those comfortable with dispersed-style camping or dry camping. If you are seeking a peaceful, cost-free retreat in a spectacular high-elevation setting, Belle of Colorado serves as an excellent basecamp for your next mountain excursion.
