About

North Fork Campground occupies a scenic aspen grove on the western slope of the Colorado Rockies at an elevation of 7,800 feet. The 28 standard nonelectric sites are widely spaced and open up to the river valley, with a heavy understory of tall grass and wild roses providing natural privacy. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and food locker. Vault toilets and potable water are available. The North Fork of the White River flows near the campground and is renowned for fly fishing. Rainbow, brown, cutthroat, and brook trout are plentiful in this waterway. The nearby peaks and soothing sounds from the river offer anglers a perfect backdrop. The area also provides access to numerous OHV trails, though domestic cattle may be grazing nearby. Wildlife abounds in this part of the 2.3-million-acre White River National Forest. Deer, elk, and moose frequent the area. Bighorn sheep navigate rocky ridges while bull elk bugle at dusk. The campground serves as a base for hiking, hunting, mountain biking, and horseback riding adventures.
