The numbers that decide it

Recreation.gov publishes no site-level detail for this campground, so we cannot say what length of rig it takes. Call the managing office before committing to it in a large vehicle.

Mingus Ranch Cabin

The Mingus Ranch Cabin is an early 20th century ranch located in the Wet Mountains approximately 1 hour from Colorado Springs and 45 minutes from Pueblo. The cabin has been renovated by the Forest Service in partnership with the Frontier Pathways Scenic and Historic Byway and the Colorado State Historical Society. The barn and cabin have been renovated to their original appearance and the cabin is decorated with period furniture and antiques. This 2-story cabin accommodates 6 people. Minimal lights and an electric stove are available. A corral is available at the site for horses.
