Camp Description

Antonito, CO

In the heart of Colorado's majestic landscapes, Elk Creek Dispersed Campground stands as an unspoiled haven for those who seek the untamed beauty of the wilderness. A place where nature takes center stage, this campground offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with the great outdoors. Conveniently nestled in the midst of the South San Juan Wilderness, Elk Creek beckons travelers with its lightly wooded terrain, babbling creeks, and a wealth of outdoor experiences.

Elk Creek Dispersed Campground presents a diverse range of camping experiences, with three loops accommodating a variety of preferences. Notably, one loop is dedicated to overflow camping, and here's the best part - there's no fee required for camping in this section. Dispersed camping restrictions are in place, ensuring that this natural wonder remains pristine for generations to come.

As you explore the campground, you'll find yourself surrounded by spruce and Ponderosa

pines, their boughs reaching skyward to create a protective canopy. Underfoot, the terrain is blanketed with lush grass, with some sites thoughtfully positioned alongside the tranquil Elk Creek.
