Narrows Campground sits on the Cache la Poudre River, 32 miles northwest of Fort Collins, Colorado, along Highway 14. It is managed by the Forest Service within the Canyon Lakes Ranger District of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, and the nearest town is Stove Prairie Landing, about 2.3 miles away. The site is set up for visitors who want to pair camping with rafting, fishing and hiking in the area. Vault toilets are the only listed amenity, and no campsites are listed as accessible. A fee is charged for stays. 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 sit around 40°F. That station sits about 900 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures here run cooler. Sheep Mountain Trail and Lower Narrows Campground are both about 0.2 miles away, and Dutch George Campground is about 0.9 miles off. The Cache la Poudre River offers fishing about 1.4 miles away.
