About Cascade (Colorado)

Cascade Campground is located in beautiful Chaffee County, Colorado. This popular facility sits near Cascade Falls and is within 5 miles of a private hot springs resort, making it an ideal location for rest and relaxation. "First come, first served" does not necessarily mean that the site will be available when you get there. Someone may get there before you. This is a popular campground and is normally full starting on Friday, sometimes as early as Thursday, so plan accordingly.

We enjoyed our stay at Cascade Campground. By far one of the most spectacular campsite we have had in 6 years of camping. We were in site 19 and it was perfect. Jake the host was helpful and provided assistance and guidance as needed. We went fly fishing at the lake, and across in the creek. The hike to Agnes Falls was gorgeous and not too difficult. We relaxed at the hot springs one afternoon. We suggest coming in with full water since the hand pump is really not an option.

Beautiful campground with nice trees and river. Peaceful in the evenings. One of my favorite campgrounds. The only problem I had this year was the road had more potholes. When you have an RV it's not like you can avoid them.

Loved our first time experience here! Probably one of the best campgrounds we've stayed at. Spacious and private sites, super clean restrooms, and a friendly but not intrusive campground host. We stayed in #15 which where we could hear the roar of Chalk Creek and hardly noticed any car noise. There is a trail from the east end of the campground that almost connects to the Narrow Gauge trail , but be careful, we almost lost our dog who got out of her harness and into the road when descending down the short but steep part of the trail - then it's a short walk to the Narrow Gauge (along the road). Lots of forest to walk the dogs as well. Some sites had circular "forts" made of the many rocks in the area - amazing fun for kids. Would absolutely stay again if we can get in!

Overall the campground and our campsite are great. BUT on this trip all the toilets were full and needed to be emptied. The campground host was not available for us when we arrived on Thursday through our departure on Sunday. As this was Labor Day weekend, seems there should have been a host on site.
