About This Location

Experience rugged mountain beauty at Springer Gulch. This year-round USFS campground offers primitive sites near the South Platte River in Eleven Mile Canyon.

Nestled deep within the dramatic granite walls of Eleven Mile Canyon, Springer Gulch offers a quintessential Rocky Mountain escape. Sitting at an elevation of 8,250 feet, this USFS-managed campground provides a serene basecamp for those looking to immerse themselves in nature. The site is located just a short walk from the South Platte River, making it an ideal destination for fly fishermen seeking trophy trout or anyone looking to enjoy the crisp mountain air and sweeping canyon views.

This primitive campground is designed for those who appreciate a rustic experience, as there are no hookups available. Each site is equipped with a fire ring and a picnic table, and vault toilets are provided for guest convenience. Because the site accommodates RVs up to 25 feet in length, it is well-suited for smaller rigs, as well as tent campers looking for a classic forest setting.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do, including exploring the nearby Overlook Trail. This moderate hike rewards visitors with stunning vistas of the canyon and the distant reservoir, often providing opportunities to spot golden eagles nesting in the cliffs above. With year-round access and a modest fee, it is a perfect spot for self-sufficient campers.
