Elliott Creek Campground (CO)

Nestled on the northwest side of the Green Mountain Reservoir within the majestic White River National Forest, Elliott Creek Campground offers a quintessential Rocky Mountain escape. At an elevation of 8,037 feet, the site provides a rugged, high-altitude setting that serves as an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the diverse landscapes of rivers, mountains, and dense forests that define this renowned region.

As a federal campground managed by the USFS, this site offers a truly primitive experience. Visitors should come prepared for self-sufficient camping, as there are no hookups available. Basic amenities on-site are limited to vault toilets, ensuring that the focus remains on the surrounding natural beauty rather than modern comforts.

This campground is best suited for tent campers and those with smaller RV setups who prefer a rustic, quiet atmosphere over developed parks. Whether you are looking to spend your days fishing in the nearby reservoir or trekking through the local hiking trails, Elliott Creek provides a serene, year-round destination for those who appreciate the raw, untouched beauty of the Colorado backcountry.
