Avalanche Campground

We had the campground to ourselves when we came, so it was very quiet and relaxing here. The only wildlife we saw were a couple birds, some squirrels and a chipmunk. A few of the camp areas were unlevel but most can accommodate a big tent. There are fire rings and tables at each site and the restrooms aren't too far from any of the sites. A warning though-the road in is very Rocky, not recommend for cars or fancy vehicles, the road is only wide enough for 1 car at a time in most places, great care should be used!

Great campsite close to Redstone and Carbondale. Little access points to Avalanche creek but was running very fast right now so unable to fish. Good access points about a mile into Avalanche lake hike. Be mindful that road in is slightly rough and we were stuck for 24 hrs due to heavy rainfall washing out the road, so if rain in forecast just be prepared. Plenty to do in area if stuck but make sure you have enough food and water. Local told us some times it takes 1 to 3 days to be fixed depending on who is available to fix. We had a great time.

Awesome place to camp and hike. Pretty popular as people come through to hike the nearby trails, but the camping is perfect and right next to the river. Facilities are well kept and the host was very nice. I will definitely come back again!

Beautiful location right by the creek. Newly rebuild campsites with good picnic tables, bear boxes, and tent pads. Great for tent camping!

We have lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for 5 years and this is our very favorite spot within 40 miles at least. Good for long or short hikes along the creek or up the hills, great camping, trails, beautiful setting, and the dogs love it, during the seasonal opening. This is one of the places I bring out of state visitors to enjoy the CO Outdoors, doesn't get much better than this!!♡♡
