About

Columbine Campground is a small, rustic campground with 6 designated sites located at Columbine Pass on the Uncompahgre Plateau in western Colorado.

Each site features a picnic table and fire ring/grill, with vault toilets available in the campground. There is no potable water, so campers must bring an adequate supply. Trash service is not provided; visitors are expected to pack out everything they bring in. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. The Uncompahgre Plateau is a popular destination for OHV/ATV riding, mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking.
