Hinman Park Campground

What sets Hinman Park Campground apart is its role as a serene gateway to the pristine Mount Zirkel Wilderness along the Elk River Corridor, ideal for campers seeking solitude, natural beauty, and outdoor adventure. This rustic facility combines a scenic forest setting at 7,700 feet elevation with access to diverse recreational opportunities, including hiking, fishing, biking, and wildlife viewing.

The campground offers 13 primitive sites, accommodating tents, trailers, and RVs up to 22 feet, with essentials like picnic tables, fire rings, and vault toilets. While it lacks water or cell service, its simplicity complements the unspoiled forest surroundings, allowing an unplugged camping experience. Bear safety precautions are essential, as the area is home to diverse wildlife. With its proximity to remarkable destinations such as Steamboat Springs (22 miles south), Steamboat Lake State Park, and Hahns Peak Lake—all within a 30-minute drive—it is an ideal base for both relaxation and exploration.

Hinman Park Campground provides a quintessential mountain camping experience for those craving immersion in Colorado's rugged wilderness, whether for a weekend escape or an extended retreat.
