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.

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.

First time tent camper at this spot, and I can't wait to come back in October. I personally think this is the best tent spot in the whole camp ground. I could hear the river, and it was utterly relaxing. Parking spot was very close to where you set up camp. Only downside is they took out the bathrooms that were closer to campsites 1-3, so you do have to go to the other bathroom in the campground maybe a 1/4 mi away. Sunset was absolutely stunning. Josh the camp host was excellent.

If you’re going to use Springer Gulch site 1,2, or 3, please understand that the Forest service has removed the vault toilet from that location. Speaking to the docent, he knew of no timeline for its replacement. This leads you with your own options for a bathroom, or a walk up the hill to the upper part of Springer gulch to use the vault toilet up there. Understand also that now the 14 sites at Springer Gulch have only two restrooms. With 8 people allowed per site…doing the math, you can see that’s not the best set up.

Amazing site, beautiful!! Wouldn't recommend for campers or trailers bigger than a pop up (in the loop), it's a tight fit and the direction of where your door will end up is opposite of what you'd want (opens to the road, not the picnic table/hill). It's amazing that the river is just a short walk from the camp site, it's so peaceful and shallow. Fire pits are great, camp host was awesome and helpful. We will absolutely return if we can get one of the spots not on the loop.
