Selkirk

Perched at a breathtaking elevation of 10,495 feet in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, Selkirk offers a rugged and authentic mountain escape. This federal campground, managed by the USFS, is an ideal destination for those seeking solitude and a true wilderness experience. Surrounded by the majestic peaks and thin air of the high country, the terrain provides a dramatic backdrop for an unforgettable adventure in nature.

This site operates on a first-come, first-served basis, maintaining a rustic feel with minimal development. While there are no utility hookups available, each site is equipped with a fire ring for cozy evenings under the stars. Visitors can take advantage of the surrounding landscape by exploring the nearby hiking trails, which offer immersive access to the pristine alpine environment.

Selkirk is best suited for self-sufficient campers who enjoy off-grid living, including tent campers and those with smaller RVs under 25 feet.
