Rosa Campground is a Bureau of Reclamation campground in Colorado, about 1.5 miles from the town of Arboles. It sits in a cluster of short trails, with two of them, the Windsurf Beach Trail and the Rosa Walk-in Campsites Loop, each about 0.2 miles away. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Ignacio show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 76°F, while July and August run warmer, with highs in the mid-80s and more wet days. The closest trails are the Windsurf Beach Trail and the Rosa Walk-in Campsites Loop, both about 0.2 miles away, and the Piedra Trail is about 1.3 miles off. Spring Creek, a canoeing spot, lies about 10 miles away.
