Weir and Johnson Campground sits at 10,500 feet in Colorado's Grand Valley Ranger District, part of the Grand Mesa, Uncompahgre and Gunnison National Forests. The Forest Service manages the land, and the campground lies between the Weir Johnson and Sackett Reservoirs, on a single loop with 11 campsites. Engelmann spruce trees dominate the forest, and some sites look out over one of the reservoirs. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. July typically brings highs around 68°F and lows near 42°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station at a lower elevation. Winter there is harsh, with typical January highs around 26°F. Vault toilets are the campground's only amenity, and a fee is charged for stays. Twin Lake Dispersed Camping Area and the Leon Lake hike are both about 0.7 miles away, and Big Creek Campground is roughly 2.9 miles off.
