West Chicago Creek

Nestled at the base of Mount Blue Sky in the heart of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, West Chicago Creek Campground offers a quintessential Rocky Mountain escape. Situated at an elevation of 9,614 feet, the site provides a rugged and scenic setting along the banks of its namesake creek. It is an ideal destination for those looking to immerse themselves in nature, with the pristine wilderness serving as a stunning backdrop for your stay.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty to do, as the campground serves as a gateway to numerous hiking trails leading into the Mount Evans Wilderness. The creek itself is a local favorite, providing excellent opportunities for anglers to cast for rainbow, brown, and brook trout. Whether you are looking to spend your day trekking through alpine terrain or relaxing by the water, the natural surroundings offer a peaceful retreat.

The campground features 15 sites designed for both tent and RV camping. Basic amenities are provided to maintain the rustic atmosphere, including vault toilets, fire rings, and picnic tables. Firewood is also available on-site for your convenience. Given its primitive nature and lack of utility hookups, this campground is best suited for self-sufficient campers who enjoy a traditional, back-to-basics outdoor experience.
