Perched above the iconic Shelf Road, The Bank Campground is a premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking adventure in the heart of the Rocky Mountains. This BLM-managed site is widely celebrated for providing immediate, convenient access to some of the most spectacular rock climbing in Colorado. With 33 campsites available, the area offers a rugged and authentic mountain experience for those looking to immerse themselves in the high-desert landscape.

The campground provides essential facilities to support a primitive stay, including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings.
