St. Louis Creek Campground

Can you imagine a campground where alpine peaks dominate the horizon, and the sound of rushing water creates a soothing backdrop for your outdoor escape? St. Louis Creek Campground, located near Fraser, Colorado, offers this serene experience amidst the Fraser Experimental Forest. With easy access to stellar mountain biking and hiking trails, this first-come, first-served destination is perfect for adventurers seeking a tranquil yet activity-filled retreat.
