About this place
The East Fork Campground is located on a ridge above the East Fork of the San Juan River. Nestled amongst the Ponderosa pines and Gambel oaks are 26 campsites containing 17 reservable sites and the remaining first-come, first-serve. A few sites offer level pull-throughs. Although some sites look down to the river, the river is a long way down. Short, steep trails lead down to the river bank, offering plenty of fishing. At 7,700 ft., this campground can be warmer than many of the other campgrounds in the area.Services include potable water, trash pickup, vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire grates.
