Bobcat Campground

Bobcat Campground, located within Hermit Park Open Space, offers campers a serene retreat in the rugged beauty just southeast of Estes Park, Colorado. Surrounded by ponderosa pine forests and open meadows, this campground is an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts seeking a peaceful experience with opportunities for hiking, wildlife observation, and mountain biking. Its proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park and the Trail Ridge Road, less than a 30-minute drive away, makes it a great basecamp for further exploration of Colorado’s renowned landscapes.

The campground features a variety of sites including options for tents, RVs, and group camping, all equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and seasonal access to water. While the amenities are basic—vault toilets are available, but there are no showers—it encourages a more authentic and quiet outdoor experience. Campfires are permitted in designated rings, and the park’s policies promote safe and eco-friendly camping. Note that water sources are limited and seasonal, so visitors are encouraged to bring their own supply.

Situated two miles from Estes Park, a charming mountain town, Bobcat Campground provides both seclusion and accessibility. This location is perfect for weekend getaways or extended stays, offering a harmonious blend of solitude, natural beauty, and proximity to iconic Colorado attractions.
