Grizzly RT RV Park is a campground in Colorado, about 8 miles from the town of Henson. It sits close to a cluster of other outdoor spots, so it works well as a base for exploring the surrounding area. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 76°F with lows near 42°F, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and regular snow days from December through March. Mill Creek Campground (CO) is about a mile away, and Mill Creek Campground is just beyond it. Lake Fork, a canoeing spot, and Carson Peak, a hike, are both roughly 1.3 miles off.
