Red Bridge Campground

Red Bridge Campground offers a serene, primitive escape nestled directly along the banks of the Lake Fork of the Gunnison River. Located just off the scenic Silver Thread National Scenic Byway, this BLM-managed site is a hidden gem for those looking to immerse themselves in the rugged beauty of the Rocky Mountains. The area is particularly popular with anglers, providing convenient public fishing access right at your doorstep.

This intimate campground features seven individual campsites, each equipped with a parking spur, a metal fire ring, and a picnic table. While the facilities are basic and intentionally rustic, the site does include a restroom for convenience. Please note that there is no potable water available on-site, so campers should plan to pack in all necessary supplies to remain self-sufficient during their stay.

Red Bridge is ideal for tent campers and car campers who appreciate a back-to-basics experience. Because it offers a quiet, undeveloped atmosphere, it is best suited for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy riverside relaxation and the peace of the Colorado wilderness. Whether you are passing through on a scenic drive or looking for a tranquil basecamp for fishing, this year-round site provides a simple, beautiful mountain setting.
