Lone Rock Campground

Perched on a hillside overlooking the South Platte River, Lone Rock Campground offers a prime blend of scenic beauty, world-class fly fishing, and rugged outdoor adventure in the heart of Pike National Forest.

This riverside retreat boasts 19 well-maintained sites, each equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. While privacy between sites is limited, the campground's location provides stunning views of the surrounding landscape and direct access to the Gold Medal waters of the South Platte River. The campground's rustic charm is complemented by basic amenities including vault toilets and seasonal drinking water.

Located just a mile from the small town of Deckers, Lone Rock Campground serves as an ideal base for exploring the natural wonders of the Pike National Forest. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Gill Trail, a challenging 7-mile hike that winds through Cheesman Canyon. The area is renowned for its exceptional trout fishing, making it a haven for anglers. Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with the chance to spot moose, mule deer, owls, and golden eagles in their natural habitat.
