Camp Creek Loop is a 2.08-mile hike in the Parks Ranger District of Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Colorado, managed by the Forest Service. The trail rises about 186 feet from a low point of 8,447 feet to a high of 8,664 feet, and it is rated moderate. The route is natural-surfaced and allows bikes, so it works for hikers and riders alike. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 80°F with lows near 42°F, while winter highs stay in the mid-30s. That station sits roughly 870 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the loop run cooler. The Pinkham Mountain Loop and Core hikes both start about 0.1 mile away, and Camp Spur is about 0.4 mile off. For an overnight stay, Boswell Creek Campground is about 6.7 miles away.
