Silesca Cabin in CO -- Campground & RV Camping

Perched in an alpine meadow surrounded by spruce and aspen trees at 9,200 feet, Silesca Cabin is a semi-rustic historic structure located about 40 minutes west of Montrose. Once used as a Ranger Station, the semi-secluded cabin accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms with twin beds. On-site facilities include electricity, a wood stove, a refrigerator, and a basement kitchen and bathroom, alongside outdoor picnic tables and a fire ring. Guests must bring their own drinking water. Nearby trails host hiking, biking, OHV riding, and wildlife viewing, with Silesca Pond a short walk away.

Getting there: Follow Highway 90 southwest from Montrose. Watch for signs as the highway makes several turns as it weaves its way out of town. The pavement ends where the road begins to climb out of the Uncompahgre River Valley and enters lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management. In 20 miles, it enters the Uncompahgre National Forest. Silesca Cabin is about a half-mile further on the left side of the road.

• Moderately separated here.
• Silesca Pond lies 0.1 mi off.
• Cabins and shelters rather than pads, with most of them shaded.
