Anthracite Pass #1969

Great RV campground! It's a beautiful area and so close to the river. The restrooms are clean and that's nice when you travel to have clean restrooms. There is fishing access to the river and it's so pretty. We stayed in our camper but they have cabins and great tent camping spots as well. Unfortunately we did have to walk our dogs in the dark and I ran into a pole sticking out of the ground that... Great RV campground! It's a beautiful area and so close to the river.

We stayed in our camper but they have cabins and great tent camping spots as well. Unfortunately we did have to walk our dogs in the dark and I ran into a pole sticking out of the ground that is used for horse shoes so use a flashlight when walking in the dark. Overall a great spot and we were visiting from Colorado Springs and we'll definitely stay here again.

I have driven past this campground several times over the years on vacations. This year I decided to book a night. What a great decision! The owner is so welcoming and helpful. We had an easily accessible full hookup site. The hookups all worked great. The pool is very nice and the restrooms are spotless. Being able to walk down to the river was awesome.

Being able to walk down to the river was awesome. We enjoyed sitting in our lawn chairs watching the sunset from the yard area by the pool. I have always enjoyed campgrounds like this one where the owners take pride in providing a great camping experience. Headed toward Salida? Stay here! My highest recommendation!

We’ve stayed at Bighorn 3 times now, camping at campsites #1 and #2 down by the river and it has been absolutely fantastic. Brenda and Aaron are the best! Their motto of customer first shows every time. The bathroom/showers are always clean, a requirement for the wife. The Campsites are right on the water and secluded from the RV park and the view of the river and canyon hills on the other side...

The Campsites are right on the water and secluded from the RV park and the view of the river and canyon hills on the other side is breathtaking. With a little luck you can see bighorn sheep visiting the river to drink. We are checking out tomorrow and plan to make our reservations next July for our 4th visit. Thanks Brenda and Aaron!

This site was great. There were 7 sites available. We drove up early morning of 17th of June. The need for a high clearance vehicle with 4x4 is seriously recommended. The drive itself its quite beautiful along the Lincoln Creek Rd. There are 22 free sites along that road on your way to Portal as well. Once you see the buildings there by the side of the Grizzly Reservoir you are pretty much there.... This site was great. There were 7 sites available. We drove up early morning of 17th of June.

There are 22 free sites along that road on your way to Portal as well. Once you see the buildings there by the side of the Grizzly Reservoir you are pretty much there. It had 7 sites all with their different perks. Some closer to the Reservoir some closer to the creek, some well shaded areas, some in between. Either way we had a great 3 night stay at the 5th site. Right next to the creek, clear view of the Reservoir and a great spot for the tent in a semi circle of trees. Just back down the road a bit is the trail head for the Grizzly Lake trail which we hiked for a few hours til we got to the snow line before turning back. All in all a very fantastically beautiful area and I would go back there again sometime. Vault toilets were as one would expect. Mosquito situation this trip and time of the year was pretty non existent. Remember sunscreen! You will burn and burn fast in the sun up there.
