About Camp Hale Memorial

Camp Hale Memorial Campground sits at an elevation of 9,200 feet, offering guests a wonderful setting for recreation and relaxation. Camp Hale is historic because the 10th Mountain Division, an unit of 15,000 men, trained here in mountaineering and skiing techniques during WWII. Some saw combat in Italy during the war. Most of the buildings have been torn down, but foundations and other "footprints" remain. The 99th Infantry Battalion (Viking Battalion) also trained at Camp Hale. There are interpretive signs along US Rt. 24, explaining the history and accomplishments of Camp Hale.

Number of accommodations: 17

The toilets were clean and maintained. I was there during the week so it was quiet. The only thing I saw was maybe the sites could have been weedwacked. Grass tall in the gravel and around the fire pit area.

The rich history of the 10th Mountain Division is well presented with the many placards through the area.

I wish I had had more time to visit and read ALL the historical markers. The ones I saw, along with photos, map and information posted down the road at the lodge, were very interesting and have piqued my interest in learning more about this important training place for our World War II troops. I will plan another trip there in the future in order to see more about the place.

Beautiful campground nestled in the mountains. Not far from Leadville and right next to a TH to the Colorado trail.

I had a reservation, but the camp host did not have it. I had two reminder emails, so I was sure I had it. The odd thing was, the previous occupant of site #15 was not supposed to depart until the day AFTER my reservation, but they departed early. Or maybe they departed on time and the host had an error in their reservation. But the camp was excellent. Thanks.

A very pretty campground - flowers were gorgeous and plentiful. Nice paved walking trail leaves the campground and is very nice to walk along. Definitely read all the signs about the history of Camp Hale and go to the Camp Hale trailhead which is a combo Colorado Trail/Continental Divide Trail at the parking lot opposite the Cooper Mountain Ski area. A nice drive to Red Cliff and Minturn is another option for a scenic and historic drive past old mining ghost towns - lunch in Minturn was fun.

Heather is a great campground host. Campground is well kept. She gave us a tip on how to see a pretty waterfall on the Colorado trail that is close by.
