Perfect location for fly fishing base camp. Camp host is friendly and informative. Limited number of sites, well maintained.

Loved this campground! It was so beautiful and perfect for our toddler’s first time. We somehow forgot the stakes for our tent at home but Don rescued us and let us borrow some! And we loved his dog Pineapple!

Attendant on site. Restroom, grills and camping sites available. There is a parking fee. A daily parking fee is $7.00 an overnight parking fee i believe is $22.00. The highway above is not loud at all. Beautiful views.

The site is exquisite. The photos attached show what it looks like waking up at 7am and opening up the tent from the most upper campsite. across the river, there's a path for the animals traveling along. some people have spotted moose. I spotted a couple deer while we were here. The camp hosts are absolutely phenomenal. They sell firewood there as well. You should prefer to buy from the site you stay at. It's about an hour from Denver, so super convenient, very beautiful, and easily accessible. The ground is all gravel rocks and dirt. Lots of different kinds of ants, but they're sparse at the sites. They tend to stay away from people. Overall, it's an amazing experience and we'll be back as often as possible :)

is small game hunting allowed??

Elijah McDonald | Aug 6, 2019

As long you are on public land, and not shooting from a road or across one and in a direction that you can see that there is a backstop and not towards people etc. Obviously you cant hunt in the campground itself but yea you can go off into the woods as long as you follow the regs in the Colorado small game manual. Dont let these uninformed biased people steer you wrong.

No, they won't allow you to camp outside of the designated sites

Do we have to make reservations? Or is it fist come serv?

All the campgrounds down that road are are self service fees. First come, first serve. $20 a night $7 daytime use is what I've seen today.

If we get there Thursday, June 3rd around 6 PM, is there a good chance we can get a camp spot??

Scott Skinner | Jun 6, 2021
Mackenzie Milliner | Jun 7, 2021

Yes. And even if it's full, there are a bunch of campsites along the way. We were there last Thursday and less than half of the sites were filled.

Can reservations be booked ahead of time? I have a large party coming in on a Saturday in June and I'm not crazy about showing up an a weekend and just hoping for the best...

I was told that it's first come first serve. That may change throughout the season or have changed. I wouldn't count on a spot being available on a Saturday though.

How do I get ahold of Keith to make reservations?

No reservations for Platte campground. They operate first come first serve. Rampart Range has 30 sites available for reservations.
