Campo Alto Campground

Very nice spacious camp, lot's of room between spaces but unfortunately I didn't see a lot of level ground for Large and tents. Spaces have a table and fire ring and share a large bear box with adjacent space. Well treed with lots of shade, you you are on top of a mountain so a lot of the trees have the tops that have been hit by lightning keep that in mind if you're there during thunderstorm activity. Unfortunately while I was there it was cloudy with snow on the ground already by the second week of October it is at a high elevation of over 8,000 ft probably closer to 9,000 so keep that in mind that it can get very cold even if it's a warm day night times can be cold and windy. Campground has two vault toilets one at the very end and one about in the middle of the camp. Nightly camping fe

Beautiful campground with amazing views of the night sky! Campsites didn’t have any really flat areas, but we figured it out. My only reason for 4 stars is they hadn’t cleaned the bathrooms (glorified outhouses) before we got there nor did they while we were there.

Cool campground with some great views. When we went 7/7-7/10 many of the sites were closed due to hazardous trees (which is why the closures seem a little random). When we saw the camp hosts a couple days in they mentioned they had just been notified the Friday of 4th of July weekend that the sites would have to be closed. Sites are very big a spread out. Our last night we were the only people in our part of the campground. There’s only two bathrooms and they are spread far from each other but pretty clean. No water, no bear boxes, so be prepared for that—though we didn’t see any bears and the general store is about a 15 minute drive away. For whatever reason google maps makes it seem like it will take 50 minutes to get there, but it’s much shorter. Some of the road is pretty rough as you

The drive up/down can be intense if other people are driving at the same time. The roads are very narrow. That being said, it's not a highly populated area so you probably won't have that issue. The temperatures, even in summer, were perfectly fine. Most camp sites have quite a bid of shade. Make sure you have a canopy of some type for shade during summer months, the temperatures are fine but the sun bearing directly down on you gets warm. The sites vary quite a bit. Some are close to each other, some are pretty far. If I were to go again, I'd probably try to grab site 16 or 17 based on shade, views, and isolation. The pit toilets have quite a few flies in them. Be prepared for that. The sites are gorgeous and the campground is very silent. The downside of that is... If your group is l

Great campgrounds, with a beautiful sunset spot. Bathroom's were cleaner than most mountain restrooms. I'll note there's no water so plan accordingly. 80° day 55° night mid July.
