Campground Overview

About Cross Creek Campground

Cross Creek Campground offers a secluded retreat where the gentle sounds of flowing water and rustling aspens create a symphony of tranquility. This small, rustic campground provides intimate access to Beaver Creek Reservoir's shoreline, with prime fishing spots and hiking trails mere steps from your tent or RV.

The 12 well-spaced sites are nestled among towering Douglas firs, providing ample shade and a sense of privacy rarely found in more developed campgrounds. Each site features a picnic table and fire ring, allowing campers to fully immerse themselves in the outdoor experience. The campground's basic amenities, including vault toilets and potable water, cater to those seeking a more authentic connection with nature.

Situated just 15 minutes southwest of South Fork, Colorado, Cross Creek Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the rugged beauty of the Rio Grande National Forest. The nearby Cross Creek Trail offers hikers and ATV enthusiasts access to some of the most scenic backcountry in the region, including a chance to see the largest Douglas fir tree in the entire forest. For those drawn to water-based activities, Beaver Creek Reservoir's no-wake policy ensures a peaceful environment for kayaking, canoeing, and angling for rainbow trout and kokanee salmon.
