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.

Number of accommodations: 12

Great location, wonderful campground. Site 6 smells a little like the bathroom and the picnic table gets inundated in a heavy rain, but the tent pad stayed dry. Site 19 is beyond excellent. Good trees for hammocks at many sites, and there is a small network of trails in the middle of the loop perfect for little kids on bikes. Easy drive to St Elmo or Princeton Hot Springs, and endless hiking and biking opportunities nearby. Narrow Gauge Trail just down the road is interesting and provides a shortcut to the Colorado Trail.
