Pickle Gulch Campground

Black Hawk, Colorado

Description

Far from nearest big city (Nederland, Colorado). This is a beautiful campground that is smack in the middle of nowhere. It is very quiet and gives a fun camping experience. Luckily campsite does have a bathroom and water!

In Black Hawk, Colorado which is near Estes Park, and Nederland. Beautiful in the fall because it is centered among aspen trees. Unfortunately campfires are not allowed because Colorado is prone to wildfires.
