About
Kelly Dahl Campground is located four miles south of Nederland along Colorado Highway 119, the Peak-to-Peak Scenic Byway. At 8,600 feet elevation, the campground provides access to the historic mining towns of Nederland, Rollinsville, Central City, and Black Hawk. The town of Nederland offers grocery stores, restaurants, gas, and other services. The campground features 46 single-family sites spread across a gentle slope. Sites 1 through 20 operate on a first-come-first-served basis, while sites 21 through 46 can be reserved through Recreation.gov. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring with grill. Site lengths vary from 26 to 40 feet, so check individual site specifications before arriving with larger rigs. This is bear country, and all campsites with tent pads include bear lockers for food storage. Due to mountain pine beetle infestation and subsequent hazard tree removal, shade is limited throughout the campground. Fire restrictions may be imposed during hot, dry conditions. A playground suitable for small children is available.
