Purgatoire Campground

Beautiful campground. Clean bathrooms. The road wasn’t bad for a dirt road. I had no trouble towing my pop up.

The area was remote and peaceful. Host was polite and helpful. My site was amazing!

Very nice wooded campsite, but toilet fairly far away. Bear-proof cabinet nice, but pack-in, pack out not so good. Some sites don't have areas for larger-sized tents. Extremely windy while we were there, not sure if that is often the case.

The campground is remote and nestled at the base of the mountain. The deer watches us from across the meadow every evening. The campers were all quiet and respectful. The hike was magnificent, wild flowers, waterfalls and a lake. Fishing in the Purgatoir river was not successful due to many branches in the water. North Lake is 15 minutes from the campground. This is a lovely campground to escape the hustle and enjoy nature to it's fullest. There is a water pump behind the bathrooms by the trailhead. You will need a container to tote the water because there is not a connection for a hose. We filled our tank up at the Monument Lake Resort for $6.00. There are bear proof trash cans for your kitchen waste. Mark, the host was very helpful. Space 9 has room for only one vehicle if you are in an RV.

This year I went online to renew the license for my boat, somehow I had missed an email asking us to review and confirm details on the vessel. So when I tried to renew I got a messgae saying missing information please call the Denver office to confirm the details.

I spent well over 12 hours on hold over 5 days trying to reach anyone! Not just in Denver but many other offices around the state. I was convinced there were no people at all anywhere manning telephones. As a last ditch effort I contacted the San Carlos Ranger office before heading out traveling to wherever I could find a Human.

My call was answered within minutes, a DOW officer informed me of the new regulation, verified my information and within 2 minutes my dilemma was solved!! Thank you!!!
