Campground details
Setting
Aspen Glade Campground sits along the Conejos River at 8,500 feet in southern Colorado, positioned between the Carson and Rio Grande National Forests. The campground offers 32 sites spread across three loops: lighter ponderosa woods in Loops A and B, and dense spruce, aspen, and fir along the fast-flowing river in Loop C. Facilities include vault toilets and drinking water, but no hookups. Just upstream lies a designated Gold Medal trout fishing section of the river, and the Sheep Creek Trail is nearby. The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad is accessible down the canyon.
Getting there: From Antonito, Colorado, go west on Highway 17 for approximately 15 miles to the Aspen Glade Campground.
