Central Colorado campgrounds are an ideal base camp for your Colorado vacation. They are near gold-medal fishing streams, historic sites, scenic byways, hundreds of miles of trails, 14,000-foot mountains, and the best whitewater river rafting in the nation. Wildlife in the region includes deer, mountain lion, black bears, elk, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, and mountain goats. The mountain wilderness also includes numerous abandoned mountain homesteads and ghost towns, remnants of the original Colorado settlers, who came to the region to mine gold and silver.

The campgrounds of Central Colorado provide easy access to an endless variety of outdoor activities. Campers can enjoy fishing, saddle trips, hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, road biking, scenic car touring, wildlife viewing, and more. Winter visitors will find a full range of winter activities including: downhill skiing, show shoeing, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and snowcat touring. River rafting, horseback, snowmobile, mountain bike, jeep, and other tours are available from local vendors and outfitters.
