Chapman Reservoir Campground

This campground is located outside of Yampa, CO off Dunckley Pass (along the Flat Tops Trail Scenic Byway) on Forest Service Road 940 between the towns of Yampa and Meeker. The campground offers 12 campsites with a 22-foot maximum length for trailers. Each site offers a picnic table and a fire grate. A camp host lives on site during the summer months. Some of the campsites offer a beautiful view of Chapman Reservoir and the Little Flat Tops. (There are also dispersed camping opportunities along Forest Service Road 940 enroute to Chapman.)

Stop by the Yampa Ranger Station/Visitor center or the outside kiosk (if after hours) for a brochure of the Flat Tops Trail Scenic Byway as it includes information on the area and the drive.
