About this campground
Nestled within a serene expanse of open pine forest and rolling grasslands, Coyote Campground beckons adventurers seeking an authentic backcountry experience. This intimate retreat features six thoughtfully spaced tent and trailer sites, each offering the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. As morning mist drifts through the towering pines and golden sunlight filters across the meadows, visitors discover why this hidden gem has become a cherished destination for summer explorers and autumn hunters alike. Here, the rhythms of nature set the pace, inviting campers to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with the wilderness that surrounds them.
Coyote Campground is designed for rustic camping, suitable for tents and trailers. It is not reservable and operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
Historical SignificanceThe lands surrounding Coyote Campground whisper stories of the past, where generations of outdoor enthusiasts have sought solitude and adventure in these pristine forests and meadows. This timeless landscape continues to draw those who appreciate the enduring traditions of camping and hunting in the American wilderness.
Weather and SeasonsThe dramatic seasonal shifts at Coyote Campground create two distinct camping experiences throughout the year. Winter transforms this high-altitude haven into a crystalline wonderland, with average snowfall reaching 4.17 inches and temperatures hovering between a crisp 19°F at night and 31.45°F during the day—conditions that appeal to only the most intrepid cold-weather enthusiasts. As spring melts into summer, the campground awakens to become a temperate paradise, drawing families, hikers, and nature lovers who relish the warm days and cool mountain evenings. Early fall brings perhaps the most magical time of all, when crisp air, golden aspens, and prime hunting conditions create an outdoor enthusiast's dream setting.
ElevationPerched high in the mountains where the air grows thin and crisp, Coyote Campground offers visitors a true high-altitude camping experience. This elevated setting not only provides cooler temperatures and refreshing mountain breezes but also creates the unique ecosystem where pine forests meet expansive grasslands. The altitude shapes every aspect of the camping experience here, from the brilliant star-filled nights to the distinctive flora and fauna that thrive in this rarified environment.
Natural Features and SceneryStanding at the crossroads of forest and meadow, Coyote Campground showcases nature's artistry at its finest. Majestic pines create a natural cathedral overhead, their evergreen boughs providing dappled shade and filling the air with their distinctive mountain scent. Beyond the forest edge, native grasslands stretch toward the horizon, rippling like golden waves in the mountain breeze. This diverse landscape offers endless opportunities for wildlife viewing, as deer graze in the meadows at dawn and birds of prey circle overhead. Evening brings a symphony of natural sounds—the whisper of wind through pine needles, the distant call of coyotes that give the campground its name, and the gentle rustling of grass under starlit skies.
Geological RegionCoyote Campground sits within a remarkable high-altitude ecological transition zone where dense pine forests gradually give way to expansive grasslands. This unique geological setting represents millions of years of natural evolution, where volcanic activity, erosion, and climate patterns have sculpted a landscape of extraordinary diversity. The interplay between forested slopes and open meadows creates multiple microclimates and habitats, supporting a rich tapestry of mountain wildlife and vegetation found only in these elevated regions.
