Tewksberry Trailhead #842

Tewksberry Trailhead #842 offers a primitive, immersive camping experience deep within the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Managed by the USFS, this site serves as a gateway to the stunning wilderness between Cattle Mountain and Demijohn Peak, providing campers with direct access to the scenic Tewksberry Trail. The setting is defined by lush stands of spruce, Douglas fir, and aspen, interspersed with wide, open grassy meadows that create a quintessential high-country atmosphere.

The terrain is characterized by a gentle ascent along the path, with the serene Tewksberry Creek meandering nearby for the first two miles. As a federal campground with no hookups, this location is best suited for tent campers and self-sufficient RV travelers who prefer a rustic, off-the-grid experience. Because the site offers minimal developed facilities, guests should be prepared for a true wilderness stay.

This location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the region’s motorized and non-motorized trails. Whether you are looking to hike through vibrant aspen groves or enjoy the peace of a remote mountain camp, Tewksberry Trailhead provides a beautiful, year-round basecamp for your next adventure.
