Bradfield Campground is a Bureau of Land Management campground in western Colorado, within the Tres Rios Field Office of the BLM. It sits at a mid-elevation point in this part of the state, and the nearby Ferris Camping Area and Ferris Canyon Campground are both about 6 miles away, making it easy to pair with another campsite on the same trip. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically June through September. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 81°F and lows near 50°F in June to highs in the mid-80s and lows around 55°F in July, with September easing back to about 75°F by day and 47°F at night. Winter is cold, with January highs near 40°F and lows around 17°F. The station sits about 630 feet below the campground, so temperatures at the site may run a bit cooler.
