Elk Creek Overflow Campground
AI-suggested draft · review before you go
The campground is composed of three loops, including one loop for overflow camping. It is lightly wooded with spruce and some Ponderosa pines. The understory is grass with some sites located next to Elk Creek. The campground is convenient to the South San Juan Wilderness. Camping sites 29 through 42 are located in the overflow loop. All other sites are side-by-side pull throughs with no tables and only seven grilles. There is no restriction on camping in the overflow loop. Firewood is available for a fee. The campground is excellent for destination or transient campers. Consider a day trip on the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad (steam) which offers a 64-mile journey through abandoned mining towns. One access to the train is in Antonito, CO, online Cumbres-Toltec Scenic Railroad or call (719) 376-5483 for more information and reservations. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques.
