Campground Overview
About Narrows Campground
What sets Narrows Campground apart is its idyllic location along the Cache la Poudre River, Colorado's first designated National Wild and Scenic River, offering campers easy access to serene fishing spots, exhilarating whitewater rafting, and picturesque hiking trails. The campground is divided into two areas—Upper Narrows and Lower Narrows—each thoughtfully designed to provide a different experience within the beautiful Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests.
The Upper Narrows section accommodates both tents and small RVs, with parking spurs for vehicles, while the Lower Narrows is solely walk-in tent camping with eight secluded sites. Both areas feature essential amenities such as picnic tables, fire grates, and bear lockers, with vault toilets and seasonal drinking water also available. Surrounded by dense forests of ponderosa pine and aspen, the campground offers a peaceful retreat for nature enthusiasts. Nearby trails, including the popular Mt. McConnel and Young Gulch trails, provide ample opportunities for hiking and wildlife viewing, making it ideal for weekend getaways or extended vacations.
Located 32 miles northwest of Fort Collins along Highway 14, the campground is easily accessible yet feels remote, thanks to its canyon setting and proximity to steep mountain slopes. Within a 30-minute drive, visitors can explore more recreation opportunities in Roosevelt National Forest or enjoy scenic drives along Poudre Canyon Road. Perfect for anglers, rafters, or anyone seeking tranquility in nature, Narrows Campground offers an authentic Colorado outdoors experience.
