Overview

This campground was decommissioned for 10 years due to pine beetle infestation. Through a partnership with Common Outdoor Ground, Forest Service employees were able to clean up the campground and get it in working order in 2021. The campground still doesn't have many trees, but it is just as beautiful as before. Nearly 1,000 seedlings were planted in 2025.

It was recently closed in 2023 for a renovation to make the campground more accessible. Areas that were addressed for accessibility include campfire rings, site paths to connect spaces, and ramps for easier grade changes. Picnic tables were placed with enough room for wheelchair access but since they are not bolted down they may have moved. These changes were not implemented at every site, but wherever possible.

There are 24 sites with access to a picnic table, fire ring, trash collection, and vault toilets. The campground is at 10,200ft and convenient to the Snowy Range Scenic Byway (State Highway 130).

This campground will have a mix of reservation sites and first-come, first-served sites for the 2026 season. If you are not reserving your site, you may be able to pay for your campsite(s) by cash or check once you are at the campground.

This is due to limited capacity to update reservation placards when concerning last minute modifications as well as limited functionality with the modifications feature in recreation.gov which has only an ON or OFF toggle for site managers and no feature allowing modifications up until a certain time frame.

We camped at Nash Fork Campground (site #6) for 3 nights and had a very enjoyable stay. The campground was quiet, the campsites were spaced nicely with ample space between sites, the vault restroom was clean (with plenty of toilet paper and hand hand sanitizer), the campground hosts were very kind and friendly, and the weather was great. We enjoyed seeing stars aplenty at night! When we were there - we were a bit surprised to see cows in the campground. ;) They would meander through in the mornings and sometimes in the evenings. They were no trouble at all; just a surprise to us. Great little campground. *also no water spigot in this campground, so be sure to bring plenty of water.

Loved this campground. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Short distance off senic highway. Had several moose visit the campground during our stay. Was able to get version cell service at top end of campground near restrooms. Not much shade but great for solar. Stayed cool due to altitude. Great hosts. Kept us informed on sites, where to get cell service etc. only eight miles from Small town of Centennial. Great place to camp when exploring Snowy range. Will return.
