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.

The route provides one of the primary access points to South Park, and boasts tremendous views of Mount Evans and Mount Bierstadt.

Maybe it was because it was the first weekend of the season but when we showed up the gate to the campgrounds was closed and no camp host was there. I tried contacting the number but was advised that it was out of service. One of the pit toilets was never cleaned and had toilet paper all over the floor.

Great location for a week long stay! There were trails within walking distance and some just a short drive away. The highway traffic is insignificant at night so there was no issue with it. There is no signal at the sites but you might find signal at the entrance to the campsite. The mosquitos were abundant so be sure to bring bug spray and patience. We had initially booked a spot without shade but the camp host was kind enough to offer us first pick at another unreserved site of our choosing. The water has a metallic taste and refilling bottles was not the easiest task for us. Bathrooms were pretty clean, free of bugs, and smelled clean enough. There were plenty of businesses nearby for firewood and snacks. I highly recommend the Silver Dollar Lake and Murray Lake Trail that is about a 40 minute drive away.

This was our first site of many, and we got here in the middle of the night. It was absolutely stunning. I think we could see almost every star out there. When we woke up there were elk about 20 ft from our tent, and the mountains looked gorgeous in the distance.
