Transfer Park Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Columbine Ranger District of Colorado's San Juan National Forest, about 0.6 miles from Florida Campground and roughly 8.6 miles from Vallecito Reservoir. The land is managed by the Forest Service. The most comfortable months are typically June through September, when a nearby weather station at Lemon Dam records typical average highs of 75 to 79°F in July and August. That station sits about 364 feet lower than the campground, so temperatures at the campground run a little cooler. The campground is not reservable, so plan on arrival rather than booking in advance. It makes a convenient base for the climbing at Lemon Reservoir Boulder Area, which is about 0.1 mile away, and for the Burnt Timber and Lost Lake hikes, each within about half a mile.
