About Kenosha Pass Campground

Great experience! The camp host was present, and as a result, the campground was efficient and great. The bathroom was clean, and the dumpster was accessible and not overflowing. Great access to the Colorado Trail!

There are sounds of highway 285 throughout the night but nothing too crazy.

We had a wonderful time camping at Kenosha Pass. Dan, the camp host, was wonderful. He is a "trail angel" who helps those hiking the Colorado trail. The Colorado trail is right there so hiking options are not a problem, especially if you don't want to drive to a trailhead. Also, we say incredible skies at night. I have just a few not so great comments. First, not all of the sites should be considered travel trailer sites (not sure about whether they would work as a tent site because we didn't view them from that perspective). The reason I say that is because many of the sites are far from being level and are rocky, plus many would be difficult to back into (unless you are a pro at that) given how narrow some of the sites are. The other thing I will mention is that you are close to Highway 285 so you can hear traffic, but we knew that going in, so we were okay with it.

Beautiful campground that's well maintained. Camp host was very kind and attentive. Traffic noise is unavoidable here, and sites on the inner ring are kind of close to each other. The sites, however, are quite large. Love the proximity to the Colorado Trail!
This area can get very buggy. We lucked out and had only about 1 hour that was really bad. There are MANY chipmunks/squirrels so please please PLEASE keep a clean campsite.
