About
Indian Creek Campground is a small, intimate campground located in Pike National Forest at 7,500 feet elevation, approximately one mile west of the Rampart Range Road Junction on Highway 67. The campground features 11 campsites nestled among a mixed forest of ponderosa pine, Gamble oak, Douglas fir, aspen, and spruce, providing both shaded and sunny spots throughout the day. Sites include parking spurs ranging from 16 to 30 feet in length, with a maximum RV length of 20 feet allowed. The campground is situated near the Indian Creek Trailhead, which provides access to the Indian Creek Trail and Ringtail Trail, offering opportunities for hiking and exploring the surrounding forest. The area is characterized by its proximity to scenic landscapes and outdoor recreation. During the full service season from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend, the campground provides vault toilets and hand-pump potable water. An extended shoulder season runs through late September, though services such as water, trash, and camp hosts may not be available during this time. The campground is accessible from Denver via U.S. Highway 85 south to Sedalia, then Highway 67. With a maximum occupancy of eight people per site and space for two tents or one RV, Indian Creek Campground offers a quiet retreat in the Pike National Forest for those seeking a relatively undeveloped camping experience.
Directions
