About

Gold Park Campground is nestled along Homestake Creek in the scenic Homestake Valley within the White River National Forest. The campground provides 12 campsites in a forested setting, each with parking spurs up to 40 feet long. Facilities include vault toilets, but campers must bring their own water as none is available on-site. The campground serves as an excellent basecamp for exploring the nearby Holy Cross Wilderness, where foot and horse travel only are permitted. Multiple trailheads are within driving distance, and Homestake Reservoir lies approximately 3 miles further west on Homestake Road, offering additional recreation opportunities including fishing. A food storage order is in effect due to increased bear activity. All food and refuse must be stored in hard-sided vehicles, approved bear-resistant containers, or suspended at least 10 feet above the ground and 4 feet from any tree or pole.

Directions

From the Minturn exit on I-70, travel southeast on Highway 24 for about 13 miles to Homestake Road (Forest Service Road 703). Turn right onto this dirt road and continue 7 miles to Gold Park Campground on the left.
