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.

They removed the bathroom at the start of the springer gulch campground. You may as well drive away from the pay campgrounds and camp for free up I believe it's called wagonton. Not worth it anymore unless you get a spot deep in springergulch where the bathroom and water are.

Stayed in site 11 on Aug. 4th. The site was well laid out for our camper van but didn't appear to be a great site for pitching a tent. The water from the pump was brown and we only used it for dousing our fire and cleaning dishes.
Other than that I really liked the site.

Springer Gulch is a beautiful area, however, it would be good to know that the rock formations surrounding the camp sites amplify all noises. This is a rustic campground with a hiking trail and river - best suited for shorter trailers or tents. I would have given a higher rating if there had been a camp host or if rangers would have checked the area during our stay.

The best camping spot, #1, at 11 mi canyon. However they took out the lower vault toilet. So plan ahead. We saw a mink by the river and a mama and baby moose walk right by the water pump in the campground. It does get crowded on weekends now a days.

Eleven Mile Canyon includes several developed campgrounds. It is in close proximity to several national monuments and state and national parks. The nearby town of Buena Vista is a must-see destination for great restaurants and other attractions.
