Hidden Lakes Campground
This Campground will close on October 17th, 2024. Hidden Lakes Campground is located 32 miles southwest of Walden, adjacent to a small secluded mountain lake in the Mount Zirkel/Park Range. This beautiful campground offers 9 single campsites near a number of small lakes and reservoir. Each site offers a picnic table and a fire grate. The campground offers a vault toilet. There is no potable water available. Campers should come prepared with their own water. Campsites can accomodate trailers up to 50 feet in length. There are no trash services at this campground. Guests must pack out all of their own trash, so don’t forget your garbage bags! Due to the mountain pine beetle epidemic, most of the mature pine trees have been removed, resulting in less available shade.
