Beautiful campground with 360 Mountain Views.

Excellent campsites well laid out and private and the bathrooms were clean. Never saw or met the campsite host while we were there for our three night stay. The host campsite looked like a homeless encampment, complete with the blue tarp over a leaky tent and old tire/wheel laying against a tree and junk/trash laying about. Does not exactly set a good example for a neat campground, but the rest of the campground was very clean. We will definitely return. Ate in nearby Minturn at Rocky Tacos-excellent. Also hiked nearby trails which are all really nice and took in the vibe of the Camp Hale ruins. A true gem in the Rocky Mountains.

We discovered this campground 2 years ago. What a hidden gem. Our site was long and somewhat shaded. If there's a downfall it would be no water available. We brought plenty so it wasn't an issue. Host was friendly, and kept the campground clean.

Beautiful, quiet campground. Nice to see new picnic tables, and firepit. Bear boxes were newer as well.

The week spent at Camp Hale was wonderful. The campground was quiet and well-maintained. The wildflowers and hikes in the area were fantastic.

This campground has very large campsites that are spaced nicely apart. The restrooms were very clean. The nearby exhibits at the former Camp Hale are informative and a trailhead to Segment 8 of the Colorado Trail is nearby. Segment 8 is a beautiful stretch of the CT!

Very secluded campground with lots of history. However, you could hear the highway from the campground because of the empty valley that the campground is in. With that being said the area was absolutely beautiful and there was a short hike to a small waterfall on the Colorado Trail just down the road. I found it on all trails

Camp Hale Memorial is a beautiful campground! Our site (#4) was nicely shaded, but with enough open area to enjoy the morning sun. The bathrooms were great and cleaned daily. (Best pit toilets ever!) The campground host was friendly and obviously kept the campground in good shape. The Continental Divide and Colorado trails are close to the campground, as are gravel roads for biking. And of course, the history of Camp Hale is impressive!

Love this place, very peaceful.

Pretty quiet

Wonderful place to visit with sites that are far apart.
@AndrewM2888517 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #17
This campground was a great location and very clean. Our particular site didn't have many trees, but the views across the valley were great. There was no tent pad at our site, but the long RV space was flat and worked out ok for a tent pad. Overall, we enjoyed our time there.
@DawnB1486112 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #8
We really enjoyed our stay at Camp Hale. The grounds and bathroom were clean. It was nice to have picnic tables, a fire pit with grill and lockers at each camp site. There is zero cell service, which was a-okay but people should know before their visit.
@JamesRD4943773 · Camped on Sep 10, 2024 at Campsite #10
Just an amazing area to explore, campground was awesome and campground host was very helpful in getting us settled in and sharing his knowledge about what to export. Scenery in this area is spectacular.
@KevinK9789719 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #20
the place is nice, clean, quit, and well located for numerous activities. would have given 5 stars if there was water.
@DennisB9968665 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #15
Great campground. Love the views, places to ride our bikes and hikes. Very clean bathrooms. This is our third year spending a week at Camp Hale.

Great locationLots of bike riding and close to Leadville.The history of Camp Hale is so humbling!What an American story..it makes you proud!
@TraciS9731292 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #4
The campground itself is awesome. This year, the company that was hired to do maintenance/camp host left a great deal to be desired. Camp hosts were hired and fired/ hired on a whim with no experience and training, and camp guests had to tell the host to clean the bathrooms and stock toilet paper, put out an abandoned fire, and tell him to NOT SPEED thru camp on his dirt bike. His site looked like a homeless camp (which apparently it was). I don't think every host needs a 34 foot fancy RV, but they also should not have all their personal belongings strewn around their site, and food out. If you're going to hire inexperienced people, at least train them. Please bring back Vista, and camp hosts Traci and Anthony.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
