About

Blacktail Creek Campground is a small, convenient roadside campground located on Highway 134 between Kremmling and Yampa, Colorado, approximately 1.5 miles west of Gore Pass. With only 8 sites, this campground offers easy highway access for travelers passing through the area. The campground sits at a lower elevation along the highway and is surrounded by young aspen trees in an area that was affected by Mountain Pine Beetle infestation. Each campsite is equipped with one fire grate and one picnic table. The campground provides one vault toilet and potable water from June through September, weather dependent. All sites are first-come, first-served with no advance reservations. The compact layout and proximity to the highway make this a practical option for overnight stays rather than a destination campground. Located within the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Grand County, the campground provides access to nearby stream fishing, mountain biking, and hiking opportunities. The maximum RV length is 18 feet due to the size constraints of the sites.
