Snow Delays Colorado Campground Openings

I know – you’re itching to plan that first camping trip. Before you go, check with the U.S. Forest Service and make sure your favorite campground is open.  Late spring snows have delayed openings at some Colorado campgrounds in the Pike and San Isabel National Forests and Cimarron and Comanche National Grasslands.

Check the status of these campgrounds before you head out:  Kite Lake, Selkirk, Lost Park, Weston Pass, Kenosha Pass, Devil’s Head, Alvarado, Purgatorie, Bear Lake and Blue Lake.
