About Columbine Campground

The Columbine Campground is located just off the Peak to Peak Scenic Byway/Highway 119, west of Denver. This campground is popular with off-road enthusiasts and many jeep roads can be reached from the campground. **Facilities:** This campground has 46 sites on two loops. Five of these sites are suitable for tents only; the others are sutiable for both RV and/or tents. Each site has a picnic table, campfire ring and grill. Other amenities include: vault toilet, water spigots and trash service. Bundled firewood is for sale by the onsite campground manager. There are no electric/water/sewer site hook-ups at this campground. **Natural Features:** The campground is situated in a grove of aspen and lodgepole pine, at an elevation of 9,200 feet. Due to the mountain pine beetle infestation and removal of hazardous trees, there may be little to no shade available in the campground.…
