Cordova Pass Campground is a Forest Service campground in the San Carlos Ranger District of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests in Colorado. It sits at a high elevation, and the surrounding area offers a cluster of hiking and climbing destinations within a short distance. The campground has vault toilets, and a fee is charged for stays. The nearest town is San Luis, about 24 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at San Luis show July highs around 82°F with lows near 48°F, while winter highs stay in the upper 30s. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the campground, so temperatures at the pass run cooler. West Spanish Peak and West Peak are both hikes just a few tenths of a mile away. Bear Lake Campground is about 6.5 miles off, and the Stonewall climbing area is about 7.4 miles away.
