Fourmile

Perched at a breathtaking elevation of 10,716 feet, Fourmile offers a true high-altitude escape within the rugged Rocky Mountains. This USFS-managed site provides a raw, authentic outdoor experience for those looking to immerse themselves in the alpine wilderness. Because it is a primitive site with no listed amenities or hookups, it is best suited for self-sufficient campers who enjoy off-grid living and the peace of a remote mountain setting.

The campground operates on a strictly first-come, first-served basis, requiring visitors to arrive in person to claim their spot. While there are no traditional reservation systems, campers can utilize the Recreation.gov mobile app’s Scan and Pay feature if available on-site, though connectivity is limited in this remote area. Visitors should come fully prepared with their own water, supplies, and leave-no-trace practices.

Fourmile is an ideal destination for experienced campers and RV travelers who prefer a rustic, quiet environment over developed parks. Whether you are seeking a base camp for mountain exploration or a serene place to stargaze under thin, clear air, this federal site offers an accessible yet wild slice of Colorado’s high country.
