About this campground
Nestled in the heart of Colorado's high country, Jim Creek Campground stands as a beacon of inclusive outdoor adventure. Thoughtfully operated by the National Sports Center for the Disabled, this unique destination breaks down barriers to nature with seven specially designed elevated platform sites. Here, the wilderness becomes accessible to all, offering everyone the chance to wake up to crisp mountain air and fall asleep under a blanket of stars.
Jim Creek Campground offers tent camping and facilities designed for accessibility.
Historical SignificanceThis area of the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests has long served as a gateway to Colorado's wild spaces, where generations of outdoor enthusiasts have found solace and adventure in the Rockies' embrace.
Weather and SeasonsAt 9,000 feet, Jim Creek experiences the full drama of mountain weather. Summer days bring warm sunshine perfect for outdoor activities, while afternoon thunderstorms roll through with spectacular displays of nature's power. Crisp autumn mornings give way to golden afternoons, and winter transforms the landscape into a snow-covered wonderland. Spring arrives late but dramatically, with wildflowers bursting through melting snow. Visitors should pack layers and rain gear for any season, as mountain weather can change in minutes.
ElevationPerched at an impressive 9,000 feet above sea level, Jim Creek Campground offers the rare opportunity to camp among the clouds. This lofty elevation brings cooler temperatures, thinner air, and breathtaking vistas that stretch for miles. Visitors should take time to acclimate and stay hydrated, as the altitude can be challenging for those arriving from lower elevations. The reward? Crystal-clear night skies and sunrise views that will take what breath you have left away.
Natural Features and ScenerySurrounded by the majestic peaks and verdant forests of the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests Pawnee National Grassland, Jim Creek immerses visitors in Colorado's quintessential mountain landscape. Towering pines and aspens create a natural cathedral, while distant peaks frame every view. The campground's mountain setting provides endless opportunities for wildlife watching, with deer, elk, and countless bird species calling these forests home.
Geological RegionJim Creek Campground claims its place in Colorado's spectacular Rocky Mountain region, just a stone's throw from the renowned Winter Park Ski Resort. This corner of the Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests Pawnee National Grassland showcases the geological wonders that make Colorado famous—ancient granite peaks carved by glaciers, alpine meadows painted with wildflowers, and forests that have stood sentinel for centuries. It's a landscape that tells the story of millions of years of Earth's history in every rock face and ridgeline.
