About

Hayden Creek Campground is a small, secluded campground tucked away on the Salida Ranger District of Pike-San Isabel National Forests. With just 11 sites nestled in a wooded setting along the banks of Hayden Creek, it offers a peaceful retreat at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis only. Sites are best suited for tent camping or small trailers and RVs, with vehicles 25 feet or less working best in the area. Each site accommodates a maximum of 8 people with 2 tents and 2 vehicles or 1 RV. Dogs are welcome but must be leashed at all times. There is no potable water available, so campers must bring their own supply. Vault toilets and picnic tables are provided. Trash service is available seasonally between Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. The nearby Rainbow Trail offers hiking access between Coaldale and Hayden Creek campgrounds.

From Salida, travel east on U.S. Highway 50 to Coaldale, turn right onto County Road 6, and continue for 5 miles. From Canon City, travel west on Highway 50 to Coaldale, turn left onto County Road 6 for 5 miles.
