About
Spruce Grove Campground is positioned beside large rock outcroppings along Tarryall Creek at 8,600 feet elevation in Pike National Forest. The campground features 27 sites with little to no shade but is surrounded by mature spruce, aspen trees, and impressive boulder formations at the base of South Tarryall Peak. Located 13 miles north of Lake George on County Road 77, the campground offers exceptional access to the Lost Creek Wilderness Area. From the campground, hikers and horseback riders can traverse the Lizard Rock Trail, a 2.5-mile route that passes Hankins Pass Trail and intersects with the extensive Brookside-McCurdy Trail, a former pack trail that can be backpacked in five to seven days. The trail features interesting rock formations that resemble a lizard. Anglers can fish for rainbow and brown trout in Tarryall Creek or visit Tarryall Reservoir, located 11 miles away. Due to limited parking, day hikers and anglers are asked to park outside the campground. The area's wildlife includes black bear, mule deer, elk, bighorn sheep, and bobcats. A bear closure order is in place requiring all food and bear attractants to be stored in a bear-resistant manner. The nearby Lost Creek Wilderness encompasses 119,790 acres of split boulders, rounded granite domes, rare granite arches, and scenic overlooks.
Directions
From Lake George, Colorado, turn right onto County Road 77 and travel 12-13 miles north. The campground will be on the right. The campground sign and entrance sit back off County Road 77.
