O'Haver Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Salida Ranger District of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests in Colorado. It sits within the national forest's ranger district, and the land is managed by the Forest Service. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically June through September. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sargents, CO, show highs around 76°F in June and 73°F in September, with July the warmest at about 82°F. That station sits roughly 700 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at the camp run a little cooler.

Mount Ouray is about a mile away, and Silver Creek Dispersed Campground is roughly 1.9 miles from the campground.
