You can tell that the facilities have been upgraded some--newer picnic tables and fire pits at some of the sites. As well as bear safes. Clean pit toilets. Great location and i really enjoy smaller campgrounds like this one-the sites are fairly large.

Camp Hale is very enjoyable - small and quiet. The toilets are clean and well-kept, and so are the campsites.Leadville area has a lot to see and do, but we prefer to sleep at a lower altitude.

Great space for our group. And the location was near 4WD trails which we used everyday.

Very high altitude. Stunningly beautiful and peaceful. Fun to ride a bike on old Camp Hale roads, interesting history.

Beautiful location with spectacular views! Deborah and Dakota (Camp supervisor/host and her pup) were awesome! Very friendly and informative. More funding support to be able to add some services (electric and water) would make this campground a very special destination.

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.

This is a lovely little campground. Nicely spaced sites. You can hear some highway noise but other than that it's great. Close to so many wonderful places to recreate!

The week spent at Camp Hale was wonderful. The campground was quiet and well-maintained. The wildflowers and hikes in the area were fantastic.
@MarkL5886645 · Camped on Jul 11, 2025 at Campsite #2
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!

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.
