North Crestone Creek Campground

The campground stretches 0.7 mile up a mountain, along North Crestone Creek and offers 13 sites, 1 site is pull through. It is a rustic area with first come / first served camping sites nestled among Aspen, Juniper, Fir, and other riparian-loving trees. Because the sites are so far apart, each site has a feeling of secluded wilderness camping. Secure bear resistant food lockers available at all sites. Please don’t use the food lockers as trash disposal. The campground is near to the Town of Crestone.
