About

The campground is located 38.2 miles southwest of Creede on Forest Road 520. There are numerous attractions to tempt the camper. Trails include: access to the Continental Divide, Lost Trail Creek Trail 821 to Carson City Mining area, West Lost Creek Trail 821 to Cataract Lake (A National Scenic Trail), Heart Lake Trail 823 to Heart Lake and Ute Creek Trail 819 to the Weminuche Wilderness. The 4 WD roads are Stony Pass (Forest Road 520) and Beartown/Kite Lake (Forest Road 506). Lost Trail Creek, Ute Creek and one mile from the upper end of Rio Grande Reservoir are all accessible fishing sites. The Sky Hi Ranch and Lost Trail Guest Ranch are adjacent to the campground. Do not use the private footbridge on the Sky Hi Ranch for any purpose. The facilities have 7 sites, each with a parking spur, table and fire ring. Firewood and refuse receptacles are not provided. There is only limited maneuvering for RV's and trailers and most of the spurs and pull-throughs are short and cannot accommodate large RV's or trailers. Screening and trees are limited. The campground is usually full from mid-June through the end of August.
