Gold Park Campground

Gold Park Campground defies the perception of modern camping by offering a rugged, off-grid retreat along the tranquil banks of Homestake Creek in Colorado’s breathtaking Homestake Valley. This first-come, first-served campground boasts 12 sites in a densely wooded setting, creating a serene atmosphere ideal for those seeking solitude, proximity to nature, and an escape from technology.

The campground’s well-maintained vault toilets and food storage lockers ensure comfort and safety, especially given the area’s active wildlife. While campfires are prohibited, each site includes a picnic table and campfire grate for outdoor meals. With no potable water on-site, campers must arrive prepared. Nearby adventures abound, with the Holy Cross Wilderness and its trailheads just a short drive away, offering exceptional hiking and opportunities to explore alpine lakes. The scenic Homestake Reservoir lies just three miles west, perfect for fishing and peaceful outings.

Situated approximately 20 miles from Leadville and Red Cliff, Gold Park Campground is ideal for weekend getaways or extended stays. Its location allows easy access to White River National Forest’s rugged beauty and numerous outdoor pursuits, making it a haven for hikers, anglers, and nature lovers alike.
