About this campground
Nestled in pristine wilderness, Divine Springs Campground offers an intimate escape with just five generously sized campsites, each thoughtfully appointed with sturdy metal fire ring/BBQ pits and picnic tables. A babbling creek meanders through the grounds, creating a natural soundtrack for your outdoor adventure. The entire area is carefully fenced to preserve the tranquil atmosphere while keeping local livestock at a respectful distance.
Divine Springs Campground supports primitive camping, providing basic facilities in a remote, natural setting.
Historical SignificanceThis pristine corner of wilderness remains largely untouched by recorded history, allowing visitors to create their own stories and connections with the natural world around them.
Weather and SeasonsDivine Springs transforms with the seasons, offering year-round appeal to outdoor enthusiasts. Summer brings crystal-clear skies and comfortably warm days perfect for exploration, while winter blankets the landscape with an average of 1.78 inches of snow, creating a serene wonderland. Spring and fall showcase nature's transitions with moderate winds and crisp mountain air. Winter adventurers should come prepared for freezing temperatures that add to the authentic wilderness experience.

This elevated setting rewards visitors with breathtaking vistas and that distinctive mountain air that makes every breath feel cleaner and more invigorating.
Natural Features and SceneryDivine Springs is a sanctuary of tranquility where towering trees create a natural canopy of shade and the gentle murmur of the stream provides constant companionship. The secluded location ensures peaceful nights under star-studded skies, while the surrounding mountainous terrain beckons hikers to explore trails leading to Divine Peak's summit. This is where solitude meets spectacular scenery in perfect harmony.
Geological RegionTucked away along the scenic Cherry Creek Road, Divine Springs occupies a remarkable pocket of mountainous terrain where geological forces have carved out a perfect camping haven. The area's remote location showcases dramatic topography, with the property's charming stream serving as a natural boundary between the campground and the surrounding wilderness, carefully fenced to maintain the delicate balance between accessibility and preservation.
