Deadwood is a campground in Colorado, about 3 miles from the town of Elbert. It sits among a cluster of other campgrounds, so it works well as a base for exploring the surrounding area rather than as a destination in its own right. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 81°F with lows near 49°F, while winter highs stay in the low 40s and lows drop to about 9°F. El Paso campground is just 0.1 mile away, and Santa Fe and Raton campgrounds are each about 0.3 mile off. The OA Campfire Trail is roughly 0.4 mile away for a short hike.
