About Bockman Campground
Bockman Campground offers a quintessential Colorado mountain experience, combining expansive valley views with easy access to pristine wilderness. This well-maintained campground boasts large, level sites accommodating both tents and RVs up to 114 feet, set against the dramatic backdrop of Clark Peak and North Diamond Peak. The open layout provides unobstructed vistas but limited shade, creating a sense of spaciousness rarely found in mountain campgrounds.
Located in the heart of State Forest State Park, Bockman Campground sits at an elevation of 9,030 feet, providing a cool retreat during summer months. The park's 71,000 acres of rugged terrain offer extensive hiking trails, prime wildlife viewing opportunities, and excellent fly fishing in the nearby North Fork of the Michigan River. Walden, the nearest town, is about a 30-minute drive away, offering basic supplies and a glimpse of authentic rural Colorado life.
On-site amenities include clean vault toilets, potable water spigots, and a horse corral for equestrian campers. Each site features a picnic table and fire ring with grill, perfect for enjoying meals while taking in the surrounding mountain scenery. The campground's location makes it an ideal base for exploring the park's extensive trail network, observing the area's famous moose population, or simply relaxing in the crisp mountain air.
