Vallecito Campground

The Vallecito Campground is large, very popular, and next to the Weminuche Wilderness. Its has 80 shaded campsites in four loops with most sites being large and fairly level. Those near the creek fill up quickly. There are 33 reservable sites, 3 with electricity, and 47 non-reservable sites. Services include water, trash pickup, fire grates, picnic tables, and pit toilets. Bear-safe food storage is recommended. This campground provides limited services from late September through October. Seven fee picnic sites are along the creek. Parking for the Vallecito Creek Trail, a major access point for the Weminuche Wilderness (no mountain bikes or motorized vehicles allowed), is at the campground entrance. Hitching posts and an unloading dock are available for livestock at the trailhead, but overnight horse camping is not allowed.
