Camping & Cabins

Choose from the following to find a site:

There are many camping opportunities on the San Juan National Forest. We offer developed campgrounds and more isolated dispersed camping areas. With some planning you can find a perfect spot for you and your family. While sewer, water hook-ups and showers are not available, most campgrounds have drinking water, picnic tables, fire rings and vault toilets.

• Jersey Jim Lookout Tower

  

  Live a little bit of history and enjoy an incredible view in Southwestern Colorado with a one or two-night stay at the Jersey Jim Lookout Tower. Formerly used to detect fires, the live-in tower rises from an aspen-lined meadow in the San Juan National Forest at almost 10,000 feet above sea level.
