Oak Cabin in CO -- Campground & RV Camping

Oak Cabin sits in a 9,000-foot alpine meadow surrounded by aspen trees at the Cold Springs Work Center in Uncompahgre National Forest. Built in the 1930s, the single-story cabin sleeps four with two twin beds and a queen sleeper sofa. Amenities include drinking water, a bathroom with a flush toilet and shower, and a kitchen equipped with a propane stove and refrigerator, though it lacks electricity. RVs and tents are not permitted. Off-road riders and mountain bikers have direct access to the Divide Forks ATV complex and the Tabaguache Trail.

Getting there: From Grand Junction, head south on Highway 50. Take a right on County Road 141 heading south for 14.5 miles. Make a sharp left on Divide Road. This road is not marked, but prior to turn, a sign reads "National Forest Access Divide Road, Uncompahgre Plateau." Follow this road for 19.6 miles and take a left on Forest Road 406 (where a sign says "Cold Springs Work Center"). Go a quarter-mile and then turn right on 406.1A. Cabin is a half-mile after turn on the left. Have combination lock handy to enter the gate. Parking is in front of the cabin.

• Moderately separated here.
• Cabins and shelters rather than pads, with most of them shaded.
