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.

This was a great stay, conveniently located just down 285 for a short get away during the work week. We stayed for 3 days and during that time there were only a few other campers here. All of the sites are surrounded by trees, there is quite a bit of shade, and even though it is very close to 285 I thought the road noise was pretty minimal. The campground is very clean, the camp sites were nicely spaced out, the vaulted toilets were very clean, even though we had brought plenty of water there is a water pump (we did not use it so can't speak to it), and having a trash dumpster on the grounds was convenient. The camp host, Dan, was very nice and we saw him on multiple days so it's nice to know there is someone around day or night. The trailhead for section 6 of the Colorado Trail is right next to the campgrounds so we checked out a portion while we were here and loved it. There is no Verizon service anywhere on the campgrounds

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.
