Silver Bell Campground

Nestled along the banks of Maroon Creek, Silver Bell Campground offers a quintessential Rocky Mountain experience. Surrounded by lush aspen groves and dense subalpine forests at an elevation of 8,920 feet, this USFS-managed site provides a serene escape for those looking to immerse themselves in Colorado’s high-country wilderness. The setting is breathtaking, though campers should arrive prepared for the rapidly changing mountain weather, as cool evenings and unexpected snow are possible even during the summer months.

This is a primitive, dry-camping experience designed for those who enjoy a more rugged connection to nature. The campground provides essential amenities, including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables at each site. While there are no utility hookups available, the location serves as a perfect base camp for outdoor enthusiasts. Guests have direct access to local hiking trails and excellent fishing opportunities right along the creek.

Silver Bell is best suited for tent campers and self-contained RV travelers who appreciate a rustic, off-grid atmosphere. Whether you are seeking a quiet retreat among the trees or a jumping-off point for exploring the surrounding wilderness, this year-round destination offers a peaceful and authentic Rocky Mountain getaway.
