Blacktail Creek Campground
9/26/2024: This Campground is closed for the season. This is a small campground with 8 non-reservable sites located on HWY 134 in between the towns of Kremmling and Yampa, CO. It can be seen from the highway and offers easy on and off access to the highway for those traveling and passing through. There is a vault toilet and each site includes a fire grate and picnic table. Please note: Campers should come prepared with a variety of different insect repellants as the mosquites are exceptionally thick this year. Dogs must stay on a leash at all times in the campground.
