About

Tabor Campground sits on the northeastern shore of Turquoise Lake at an elevation of 9,900 feet, surrounded by a shaded lodgepole pine forest in San Isabel National Forest. Named after Leadville's infamous Silver King, Horace A. W. Tabor, this campground provides a scenic high-altitude camping experience near one of Colorado's most beautiful mountain lakes. The campground features 15 standard non-electric sites that can accommodate large recreational vehicles. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring with grate. A vault toilet is available. However, potable water is not available in 2026, so campers must bring their own water supply. Firewood can be purchased at the host site for $10 per bundle. Tabor operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no advance reservations. The fee is $29 per night, which includes two vehicles or one RV. A third vehicle costs $11 extra. Maximum occupancy is 8 people per site. Dogs are permitted but must be leashed at all times. Be prepared for potential high altitude sickness at this elevation.
