About
Midland Group Campground offers a rustic group camping experience along the Fraser River in the Arapaho National Forest. Located just 4.5 miles south of Winter Park on US Highway 40, this minimally developed campground sits at 9,400 feet elevation where the Fraser River flows from its headwaters near Berthoud Pass toward its confluence with the Colorado River. The single group site accommodates up to 36 people with five picnic tables, each paired with a metal fire ring, and ample space for tents and canopy structures. Portable toilets are provided, but there is no potable water on site; campers can obtain water at Idlewild Campground approximately 3 miles north. Parking is limited to 10 vehicles. Nearby trailheads and 4x4 roads provide access to Jim Creek and the west side of historic Rollins Pass. The summit of Berthoud Pass offers additional scenery and trail access. Grocery shopping and restaurants are available in Winter Park and Fraser, while the Arapaho National Recreation Area and western portal of Rocky Mountain National Park are within an hour's drive. Afternoon thunderstorms are common during summer months.
Directions
From Winter Park, travel 4.5 miles south on US Highway 40. The campground is located on the east side of the road.
