About
Narrows Campground occupies a scenic stretch along the Cache la Poudre River within Roosevelt National Forest, surrounded by ponderosa pine and aspen trees in a canyon that varies from dense forest to open meadows. The campground is divided into two distinct areas: Upper Narrows offers 6 standard sites with parking spurs ranging from 30 to 50 feet, suitable for RVs and trailers, while Lower Narrows provides 8 walk-in tent-only sites with separate parking. The Cache la Poudre River, designated as Colorado's first National Wild and Scenic River, offers excellent whitewater rafting and fishing for brown, cutthroat, and rainbow trout. Nearby trails include the Mt. McConnel Trail, William R. Kreutzer National Recreation Trail, and Young Gulch Trail for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Each campsite is equipped with a 12x15' tent pad, picnic table, fire ring with grill, and bear locker. Vault toilets are available year-round, though drinking water from hand pumps is only available through late September. The campground operates on a mix of first-come-first-served and reservable sites through Recreation.gov.
Directions
From Fort Collins, drive 10 miles north on Highway 287, then turn left (west) onto Highway 14 and proceed 20 miles to the campground.
