About
Peaceful Valley Campground is nestled in a scenic glacial valley along the banks of Middle Saint Vrain Creek at 8,500 feet elevation in northern Colorado's Roosevelt National Forest. The 17 campsites are spread through a mixed conifer and aspen forest, with nine sites accommodating RVs, campers, and trailers up to 45 feet, and eight sites better suited for tent camping. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring with grill, and bear locker for food storage. The campground provides vault toilets, potable water from a hand pump, and trash service. There are no showers, dump stations, or utility hookups. Sites 1-7 and 9 are reservable through Recreation.gov, while sites 8 and 10-17 operate first-come, first-served. The campground fills quickly on weekends, so arrive early Friday or make reservations in advance. Middle Saint Vrain Creek offers quality fly fishing for rainbow, brown, and cutthroat trout. The first five miles of Buchanan Pass Trail are open to mountain biking, and Sourdough Trail provides additional hiking opportunities. Wildlife sightings of moose and beaver are common. Rocky Mountain National Park's main entrance is 24 miles north in Estes Park.
