About Green Ridge Campground

Green Ridge Campground offers a rare blend of alpine serenity and accessible adventure on the shores of Shadow Mountain Reservoir. This picturesque retreat balances pristine natural beauty with well-maintained facilities, making it an ideal basecamp for exploring the western gateway to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Situated just minutes from the charming mountain town of Grand Lake, Green Ridge provides a quintessential Colorado camping experience. The campground's prime location grants easy access to both serene lakeside relaxation and exhilarating mountain pursuits. Sites are thoughtfully laid out to maximize views of the surrounding peaks and sparkling reservoir waters.

While Green Ridge serves as an excellent stopover for travelers en route to Rocky Mountain National Park, its allure often transforms quick stays into extended vacations. The campground's proximity to Shadow Mountain Lake invites days filled with fishing, paddling, and shoreline strolls. Nearby hiking trails wind through dense pine forests, offering opportunities to spot local wildlife and soak in panoramic vistas of the Continental Divide.

The town of Grand Lake, just a short drive away, provides a quaint mountain village atmosphere with its boardwalk shops and restaurants. For those seeking a deeper connection to the area's natural wonders, the Arapaho National Recreation Area surrounds the campground, offering countless options for outdoor exploration and authentic Rocky Mountain experiences.
