About Kenosha Pass Campground

Kenosha Pass Campground is a small, conveniently-located campground heralded by backpackers on the Colorado Trail and by those looking for a scenic, mountain family getaway.

The sites are not very level and are not suited for larger travel trailers. The host couple were great! A lot of dust and noise from construction vehicles working on the power lines.

Don’t let the proximity to the hwy keep you from staying here - the location is great! The campground is literally on the Colorado Trail so hiking is abundant. There are some great sections of the CT and other trails and recreation areas all within a short drive (Jefferson Lake, Lost Creek, etc). The camp hosts were super nice and did a great job keeping the campground clean and tidy. We stayed at site 13 with a tent. It wasn’t the flattest, but the slight incline wasn’t too bad. Bonus - we had a female moose walk right through camp out second day! We also so other wildlife (include two bull moose) on nearby hikes. Kenosha Pass is an excellent campground and in a great, central location for hiking.

Beautiful setting, but you can hear the traffic from US-285.

We had site 24 and it was pretty far away from the road, but we could still hear traffic at night. I read about this before going so I brought ear plugs and slept great. The spot was nice and quiet, though surrounded by others it still felt peaceful. The only downside was the bathroom was basically right on the site - every now and then the wind would bring the smell to our area. I probably wouldn't choose that specific site again bc of that - but I would totally come back to these campgrounds in the future. Overall the site was clean, quiet, near the Colorado Trail for a great hike.

Perfect location if you are hitting up the Colorado Trail. Clean, quiet, serene . . . we even had a teenage moose stroll through our campsite after dinner one event. Helpful and kind camp hosts, great location, will be back again.
