Teal Lake Campground

***Information concerning the drinking water at this campground.***

Teal Lake Campground is located near Walden, Colorado and provides 17 individual campsites. Each site has a fire grate and a picnic table, and the campground offers a vault toilet. All individual sites are first come, first served, except for the group site, which can be reserved at www.recreation.gov. It can accommodate up to 21 people, has 4 picnic tables and 2 campfire rings. 

Teal Lake is a 50-acre lake surrounded by a rocky shoreline and pine-fir forest. While some sites provide shade, many were affected by the beetle kill and what was once forested sites, offering shade, have now been thinned and lack shade. Black bear, bobcat, coyote, elk, mule deer and moose are just some of the many animals that inhabit the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests. Teal Lake offers trout fishing and only electric and non-motorized boats are permitted. Off-road vehicle enthusiasts have easy access to the Grizzly-Helena Trail nearby. Hiking is great in the nearby Mount Zirkel wilderness, though hikers must drive to the trailheads. Open season is early June to late October.
