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.

Loved the location and our particular site was perfect! Private and secluded. Loved how close it is Mt Princeton, and St Elmo.
Campsites and bathrooms are clean and the views are incredible.

This is a gorgeous campground - and quiet! We loved it! Just the drinking water looked suspicious after you worked to get it out of the well.

Beautiful campground with well spaced, well maintained campsites, many with views. The dirt road leading to it was in good shape. Nice hike from the campground.
