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. Across the road from the campground entrance is the Kenosha Pass Interpretive Area, with an accessible interpretive trail showcasing wetlands and remnants of the South Park and Pacific Railroad. Kenosha Pass, the campground's namesake, is one of the nation's highest mountain passes, weaving over the spine of the Front Range from Jefferson to Grant. The route provides one of the primary access points to South Park, and boasts tremendous views of Mount Evans and Mount Bierstadt.

Great campground close to the Colorado Trail. Camp Host was very helpful, clean pit toilets. We tent camped and had a spacious site. You can hear highway noise, but that was to be expected due to the location. Water pump wasn't working while we were there in Mid-June.

The Colorado Trail so close to the campsite was fantastic. The facilities were all clean. We liked our campsite (#3) and had good distance between us and our neighbors.

However, the highway was so close to our campsite that we were woken up by semis passing in the night. Maybe campsites further in wouldn't have been so loud.

A bear did visit some other campsites and the dumpster in the night. Make sure to clean up your dining area - we did and the bear didn't come near our site. It was cool to go look at the bear tracks by the dumpster.

Nice campground. Good shade at sites. Sites a little close together but not a problem. Close to 285 so a little traffic noise at times during the day. Great access to the Colorado Trail. And at higher elevations along the trail we even had cell service!

We love Kenosha Pass Campground. The only complaint I would have was the almost constant gun shots on the Sunday we stayed.

We stayed at the campground at the tail end of the busy 4th of July holiday. The first night was packed but still quiet, clean, and lovely. Folks cleared out and our next night was so peaceful we could hear the bears having a dumpster party way at the other end of the campground. The caretakers had everything back in tiptop shape early the next morning. They were lovely folks and did a great job of keeping the whole area clean and folks happy.
It gets really cold at night. It's higher up than most and we felt it.
You can hear a bit of traffic from the highway as it's quite close to it.
The Colorado Trail is super popular so try to go on a weekday if you hope to see fewer people. Everyone we encountered was friendly and as excited to be out in nature as we were.
We will definitely camp here again. It is a perfect car camping spot with lots of trees, large spaces, and very well maintained.

There is more than camping here, hiking along railroad right of way and remnants of railroads of the past, hiking to scenic overlooks.
