Aspen Glen Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Canyon Lakes Ranger District of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in Colorado. It sits among a cluster of trails, campgrounds and climbing areas, making it a convenient base for exploring the surrounding canyon country. The site has vault toilets, and a fee is charged for stays. The Forest Service manages the land, and the campground is set up for a simple, no-frills camping experience. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at about 9,000 feet show July highs around 73°F with lows near 40°F, while winter highs stay in the low 30s. Several other spots lie within a short drive. Big South and the Twin Lakes Trail are both about a mile away, and Big South Campground is just over a mile off. Climbers can head to Poudre Falls, roughly 2 miles away.
