About
Cross Creek Campground is a small streamside campground located in the Beaver Creek drainage southwest of South Fork, Colorado. The 8 sites are positioned on both sides of Cross Creek, just above where it flows into Beaver Reservoir. Each site has a picnic table and fire ring, with vault toilets centrally located. Some sites offer sewer hookups for RVs. Fishing opportunities abound with Beaver Creek and the 300-acre Beaver Reservoir just a quarter mile north. Beaver Reservoir allows boating with motors but enforces a no-wake policy. Cross Creek Trail provides hiking and ATV access (50-inch width limit, Colorado registration required) and features the largest Douglas fir tree in the Rio Grande National Forest. The trail ends with views of Del Norte Peak and Willow Park. The campground operates year-round but may be inaccessible due to snow. A concessionaire provides full services (trash collection, maintained restrooms, camp host) from Memorial Day through Labor Day. During the off-season, campers should be prepared to pack out trash and bring their own water.
