Natural Features The campground is situated among ponderosa pines, on a gentle slope, at an approximate elevation of 8,600 feet. Due to the mountain pine beetle infestation and consequent hazardous tree removal, the campground offers little to no shade. Nearby Attractions The town of Nederland, which is four miles north of the campground, offers grocery and hardware stores, restaurants, gas, a post office, bank and Barker Reservoir. contact_info For facility specific information, please call (530) 529-0578.
