About

Pulver Mountain Group Site offers a private camping experience for large groups in Pike National Forest's South Park Ranger District. The site features a large pavilion with several movable tables and a communal fire pit, along with six individual campsites that each have a stationary table and fire ring. A two-stall vault toilet provides restroom facilities, and a west field accessible by foot offers additional space for tents and group activities. The fairly flat terrain is covered with natural grasses and scattered pines providing shade. The location provides access to excellent recreation opportunities including nearby Eleven Mile Canyon, known for rock climbing, kayaking, and fishing along the South Platte River. Jefferson Lake lies about 45 minutes north offering wildlife viewing and hand-launched boating, while Tarryall Reservoir State Park is popular for fishing. Off-roading trails are accessible just outside the site gate, and the Badger Flats area to the north offers exploration of sub-alpine terrain. Firewood is available for purchase from the Round Mountain campground host nearby.
