What Guests Are Saying

Springer Gulch offers a picturesque camping experience with excellent fishing spots, light hiking opportunities, and a serene atmosphere ideal for relaxation. Many campers appreciate the clean campsites, beautiful scenery, and the helpfulness of the camp host. However, recent changes to restroom facilities, including the removal of vault toilets and the reliance on limited portable options, have led to dissatisfaction among some visitors regarding cleanliness and accessibility.

What a beautiful spot to spend a few days! The scenery is incredible, and there are some good spots to hike. We enjoyed our time, and the camp host is very friendly. It was about 20 minutes to the Florissant fossil park, 40 minutes to the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Sanctuary, and 45 minutes to the Garden of the Gods.
One note is that the level spot at site 08 is best for a 2-3 person tent, several other tent only spots seemed to lack a large level area, so double check the pictures and reviews available if you have a larger tent or more than one.

Springer Gulch is great! I hope they install bear-boxes at these sites someday. Great place to camp - even better place to catch trout.
