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.

Cascade is a great campground. The Host couple was very attentive to their duties, and were willing to go beyond expectations to make my experience the best possible. They even welcomed campers on their first night with a little serenade! There were plenty of vault toilets and water access points, and the restrooms were spotless at all times.

I came a long way on a motorcycle in 100+ degree heat, and I will definitely come back, if I can manage more than a 5 night reservation.

Spent 10 nights in late July. The campground was a perfect central location for our Jeep outings. The camp hosts were fantastic, playing guitar and singing at your campsite. They also kept the sites and restrooms immaculate. I would definitely return.
