Silver Bar Campground
Silver Bar Campground is located approximately five miles southwest of Aspen, Colorado , on the banks of Maroon Creek. The campground is adjacent to the Maroon Bells Welcome Station. This small, primitive, campground features four tent-only, walk-in sites with centralized vault toilets only a few yards away from each campsite. The campground sits at a elevation of 8520 feet, allowing guests to experience warm summer days and cool evenings with probable afternoon thunderstorms. Properly licensed anglers may fish in Maroon Creek, which runs along the eastern edge of the campground. Come prepared for changing weather conditions. Snow is possible even at the peak of summer. Access to fishing areas and Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness trails where restrictions apply. View Dates and Fees
