Gore Creek Campground

Gore Creek Campground offers a quintessential Rocky Mountain experience, situated just six miles east of Vail within the lush White River National Forest. This federal site is uniquely positioned along the banks of Gore Creek, providing a peaceful, forested retreat that serves as an ideal basecamp for outdoor enthusiasts. Its proximity to the boundary of the Eagles Nest Wilderness makes it a prime location for those looking to immerse themselves in Colorado’s rugged high-country terrain.

The campground accommodates both tent campers and RVs up to 35 feet in length, though it is important to note that the site offers no utility hookups. Visitors can enjoy direct fishing access to the creek and immediate entry to several trailheads that lead deep into the surrounding wilderness areas. Please be mindful that all wilderness regulations apply when exploring these protected lands.

This campground is best suited for visitors seeking a rustic, back-to-basics experience in a beautiful natural setting. Whether you are planning a weekend of fly fishing or looking for a scenic launching point for alpine hikes, this year-round site provides an accessible mountain escape for those who appreciate the simplicity of traditional forest camping.
