Lower Narrows Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Canyon Lakes Ranger District of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in Colorado. It sits within the national forest's recreation network, and the land is managed by the Forest Service. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 79°F with lows near 56°F, while winter highs stay around 40°F. That station sits about 900 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. A fee is charged for recreation at this site. The campground is close to several other destinations. Sheep Mountain Trail and the Narrows (CO) campground are each about 0.2 miles away, and Dutch George Campground is about 0.9 miles off. The Cache la Poudre River, roughly 1.2 miles away, offers river fishing.
