About
Cold Springs Campground is located on the Arapaho National Forest, five miles north of Blackhawk on Highway 119, part of the scenic Peak to Peak Byway in north central Colorado. The campground sits at an elevation of 9,200 feet in a mountainside forest of aspen and lodgepole pine, with most sites offering shade and gravel interior roads. The campground has 38 sites total: 31 standard nonelectric sites suitable for RVs up to 40 feet, 3 tent-only sites, and 5 walk-in sites. Each site includes a tent pad, fire grate, and picnic table. Facilities include vault toilets, potable water from hand pumps, trash service, and a playground. No electric, water, or sewer hookups are available. Sites 1-5, 9, and 10 cannot accommodate RVs with slide-outs. The surrounding area offers hiking opportunities including the short but steep Vista Trail with views of Mount Evans Wilderness. Scenic driving along the Peak to Peak Byway, fishing in nearby creeks and lakes, and off-road driving are popular activities. Golden Gate Canyon State Park is seven miles away, and the historic mining town of Central City is nearby.
