About This Location

Experience high-altitude camping at Silver Dollar, a scenic USFS campground on the shores of Turquoise Lake in the heart of the Colorado Rockies.

Nestled at an elevation of 9,877 feet, Silver Dollar Campground offers a quintessential Rocky Mountain escape. Situated along the eastern shore of Turquoise Lake, the site is shaded by a beautiful forest of lodgepole pine and subalpine fir. This federal campground provides a rustic, back-to-basics experience that allows visitors to fully immerse themselves in the high-altitude wilderness.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do, with immediate access to fishing and a convenient boat ramp for those looking to explore the water. The campground also serves as a perfect base for hikers, featuring the gentle 1.2-mile Turquoise Lake Nature Trail, which connects to a larger 6.4-mile network paralleling the shoreline. Essential amenities are provided on-site, including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings, with firewood available for those cool mountain evenings.

This site is an excellent choice for families and outdoor adventurers looking for an affordable, year-round getaway. While the campground accommodates RV camping, please note that it offers no utility hookups, making it ideal for self-contained rigs or tent campers who enjoy a more primitive, nature-focused stay in the Colorado high country.
