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

This is a great campground. There is so much history regarding the location as it was where the 10th Mountain Division trained during WWII. Lots of things to do nearby, close to Leadville. Whether you come via Minturn or Leadville, it’s a beautiful drive. If you pick the right time in the fall, you may see spectacular colors as the aspen change color. Some spots don’t have much shade, so be wary at the elevation. Bring plenty of water! The same camp host was there this year as last year when I visited and they do a fantastic job keeping the camp clean and maintaining the facility. The Colorado Trail intersects very near the camp site, and not too far up the trail you can hike to a waterfall. Special thanks to the wonderful camp host!

Camp Hale has really interesting military history combined with natural beauty unmarred, except by some camp generators and the semi-truck traffic on the highway. But the camp hosts were really, really good about enforcing quiet hours and were friendly and chatty as well. Our Camp Host Traci had set up a spotting scope in the evenings and was watching deer and elk on the mountain to the east of the campground. She let a group of about 5 of us spend an hour or more watching them feed across the alpine meadow a few miles away. Hummingbirds, mountain jays, beautiful vistas and a lovely stream made for great experiences of beautiful Colorado.
