Purgatoire Campground

Beautiful campground. Camp Host Mark kept the place really clean and the outhouses were kept stocked with toilet paper. He also was around to answer any questions.

Super quiet, super clean, absolutely gorgeous. We stayed 2 nights at campsite #7 in the upper loop. Campsites are far apart and everyone was quiet so it seemed like there weren’t other people around! We were a ways from the bathroom but were fine with that. We hiked the North Fork trail - very popular that weekend with horses and hunters - and took a right somewhere on the trail when we were supposed to go straight or left, but we got to a jaw-dropping vista among the mountain peaks and couldn’t have been happier. We were in an SUV and the road to the campground is gravelly with holes and washboard in places, but it wasn’t really too bad. Mark the Camp Host gets a special shoutout for being available, helpful, funny, and kind!

I’ve always enjoyed this remote location. Host was friendly and helpful. Site has always been clean and the vault toilet doesn’t stink!

great place to camp just kicking back and enjoying the outdoors.

Great campground, remote and quiet in a Thursday night. Clean bathrooms and bear lockers

Mark, the camp host and excellent keeper of the campsites, is very friendly and accommodating. He patrols the campgrounds efficiently and makes sure folks are following the rules.

The campsites are great…big pine and aspen trees surround the sites; bear proof lockers and campfire pits as well as picnic tables at every site.
NO CELL SERVICE…kinda nice!

Great location, nice distance between campsites. Only complaint is the distance to the vault toilets.

Great, uncrowded campground. Kinda remote road access and no water, which probably keeps some people away; fine with me. Beautiful creek(s) alongside and trails that give you access to a couple 13'rs if you like. Close to North and Monument Lakes for fishing, boating, paddleboarding etc.

Very quiet and lovely in the trees. There is a super beautiful babbling creek that makes this a very peaceful nature campground. There were horse rider in the area as well. The road is all dirt at the highway turnoff and can be a bit bumpy and long for bigger campers /rvs. Overall very peaceful. Vault toilets and no utility hook ups so plan on a boondock situation.

Beautiful and quiet with clean pit toilets, a water pump and well-maintained, pretty sites. Enjoyed the river and hiking right at the campground as well as day trips to other Spanish peaks hikes. We would love to return!
