Kenosha Pass Campground

Camp host, Dan (Smurf) was super sweet and on top of everything! You can tell how much he cares, and can see him patrolling around every now and again. Plenty of folks will stay at his camp just to chat and bond. Many of the sites of very gracious in size. I’ve camped a lot and I can’t say the camp host for many of places I stayed even bothered to say hello. My partner and I hiked 6 mi to the beaver ponds picnic area on the Colorado trail and back. Plenty of good line for hammocks. Aspen trees galore and a wide variety of terrain. If you run out of ice, Jefferson Corner Store has great burritos and fudge. As far as phone service? You probably won’t have it. I got a few texts to go through. I absolutely will be returning.

Great views. Very clean bathroom.

The site was well-kept, and the vault toilets were clean. It's a beautiful location, but you can hear quite a bit of the vehicle noise from the highway. The easy access to the Colorado trail was a plus. You're surrounded by beautiful aspens. Most of the sites are not level, so definitely bring your leveling blocks/ equipment.

This is a very easily accessible camp site, just off US-285 and about an hour and a half-ish from Denver. You're not far from the highway, so there is a bit of road noise through the night but not enough to be very distracting. The area is well forested and the loop road is nicely maintained. There is a camp host who gives out provisions to hikers, which is a neat asset for this area. You also have access to a lot of nice hiking areas - just across the road is a huge aspen stand, just down the road is Lake Jefferson. You can also putz around the bustling metropolis of Fairplay if you want to see where the cartoon South Park is set.

Overall, it's a nice getaway. Good for families, pets, and nature-bathing.

Campground has clean restrooms and potable well water. It’s very wooded and quiet except for the occasional loud truck that passes on 285.

Really nice campground tucked in the aspen trees. No cell service unless you walk down to the highway, but that was OK. Great access to the Colorado Trail. We were able to pull into our campsite (#22) with our 5th wheel but couldn't get perfectly level side-to-side. We scoped out a couple of other sites that will work for us the next time we camp here.

It's ok. Plenty of good trails a drive way. Not a lot of privacy around the campsite, or quiteness.
