About CAMP DICK

Federal campground in Colorado.

Camp Dick is a hidden gem nestled in Colorado's national forest, offering RV enthusiasts an authentic escape into the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. This well-established campground provides an ideal base for those seeking to disconnect from the hustle and bustle while remaining close enough to civilization for supplies and services.

The surrounding landscape captures the essence of Colorado's outdoor appeal. Towering pines create natural windbreaks and provide welcome shade during the day, while nights bring the crisp mountain air that makes for comfortable sleeping. The elevation and forest setting offer relief during hot summers, and the changing seasons paint the landscape with vibrant colors. Whether you're an early riser wanting to watch the sunrise over the peaks or someone who prefers evening campfire moments under star-filled skies, the setting at Camp Dick accommodates both preferences beautifully.

Being situated in a national forest means access to extensive trail systems and outdoor recreation opportunities. Hiking trails range from leisurely nature walks suitable for all fitness levels to more challenging alpine adventures for experienced trekkers. The nearby waterways provide fishing opportunities for those looking to cast a line, while the peaceful forest environment attracts wildlife enthusiasts and photographers hoping to capture mountain scenery and local fauna.

The location serves as an excellent jumping-off point for exploring the broader Colorado high country. Day trips to mountain towns, scenic overlooks, and additional natural attractions are within reasonable driving distances. This makes Camp Dick perfect for travelers who want a quiet home base but don't want to feel isolated from points of interest.

The campground itself maintains a good balance between providing necessary amenities and preserving the natural camping experience. Guests consistently appreciate the well-maintained facilities and the peaceful atmosphere that keeps the park feeling less crowded than some commercial campgrounds. RV campers, tent campers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all types find something appealing about this location. Whether you're planning a weekend getaway or an extended stay in the mountains, Camp Dick delivers that sought-after combination of nature immersion and reasonable comfort.

Great great campground! Water was off but it was October so understandable!! Mostly quiet and peaceful but there was quite a few off-road vehicles that drive thru going to trail at end of campground! Wasn't terrible but I heard it's pretty busy during the summer! Creek runs right beside quite a few spots and there's a few trailheads right in campground! Overall I loved it! Clean, amazing camp host... Great great campground! Water was off but it was October so understandable!!

Great campground! Visited mid Oct as this was one of the only campsites still open for the season. No hookups for RVs, but vault toilets are available and were very clean when we visited. Water was already shut off for the season. Camp host appeared to be hired by a company and wasn't saying onsite but visited daily and had some firewood for sale. Sites on the exterior of the road are spaced... Great campground! Visited mid Oct as this was one of the only campsites still open for the season. No hookups for RVs, but vault toilets are available and were very clean when we visited. Water was already shut off for the season. Camp host appeared to be hired by a company and wasn't saying onsite but visited daily and had some firewood for sale. Sites on the exterior of the road are spaced out well, however sites inside the loop road have no shade and are very exposed. Traffic to the trail head can also be slightly annoying depending on your site. Note trash pickup is around 6:30am on Thursdays.....so if you are close to a dumpster be ready for some noise. Bear boxes are available at all sites. Lots of great hiking all over / around the camp. Bugs (gnats) were bad in the afternoon. We'll be back but will look for a site away from the dumpsters and away from traffic going to/coming from the trail parking lot.

Amazing campground! It was busy on a fall weekend, but just added to the experience. They have a concrete walk path along the beautiful river. The camphosts are great! The pit toilets are CLEAN! Even had air fresheners! Saw 3 Moose next to camp! Definitely recommend this campground and only a short half hour drive from busy Estes Park.

Really relaxing campground! Quiet location, low traffic, pleasant hosts, and a river that flows by some of the sites. What more can you want!?

What more can you want!? Bathrooms are vault toilets, but at least it's something Fire rings are at each site along with a charcoal stand grill and picnic table. Each site has a leveled tent pad, too, which was a blessing! There are over 30 sites and while they did fill up on the weekend it did not seem packed because there's a generous amount of space between each site. Cell service is spotty for Verizon and nonexistent for other carriers. Pleasant Valley camp down the road has cell service but that's a net loss for me on a camp trip. Good place and will go back!
