Mushroom Gulch Site 3 is a Forest Service campground in the Salida Ranger District of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests in Colorado. The land is managed by the Forest Service, and the site is one of a cluster of mushroom gulch campgrounds in the 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 41°F, while winter brings highs around freezing and lows well below zero. That station sits at nearly the same elevation as the site, so its figures are a fair guide to conditions here. Mushroom Gulch Site 2 is half a mile away and Site 1 is 1.5 miles off. The Midland Bike Trail lies about 2 miles away, and the Lilliput climbing area is roughly 2.3 miles out.
