Rocky Ridge Campground - Loop C is a campground within Eleven Mile State Park in Colorado, managed by State Fish and Wildlife. It sits among the park's other loops, with Loop B and Loop D each about 0.1 mile away, so it is easy to move between the different parts of the campground. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Lake George show July highs around 77°F with lows near 46°F, while winter highs stay around 33°F. The Ponderosa Loop Trail and Aspen Loop Trail are both within a mile, and the Colorado Midland Railroad offers canoeing about 1.3 miles away. Climbers can head to Elevenmile Reservoir, roughly 2 miles off.
