BPX 3-Day: Colorado State Forest State Park The Crags or Ranger Lakes Campgrounds
The Ranger Lakes and Crags Campground are located in State Forest State Park, east of Walden, near Ranger Lakes, Nokhu Crags and Cameron Pass. Crags Campground is set in dense forest, the campground is tent-oriented because, while accessible by sedans, the access road is too steep, narrow, and winding for trailers and most RVs. Ranger Lakes is easier to get to and open after Labor Day. Both are great!
The Colorado State Forest in one of the most remote parts of Colorado. The area is teeming with moose, elk, muletails, black bear, and mountain lion, and offers great fly fising in nearby lakes and streams. At nearly 10,000' elevation, The Crags and surrounding area is high enough to be pleasantly cool even in July and August. Ten reviewers in Dyrt.com give The Crags Campground five stars. We agree.
