Hidden Lakes Campground


Area Status: Open
Hidden Lakes Campground is located 32 miles southwest of Walden, adjacent to a small secluded mountain lake in the Mount Zirkel/Park Range and has 9 single campsites near a number of small lakes and reservoirs. Each site offers a picnic table and a fire grate. Campsites can accomodate trailers up to 50 feet in length.

There are no trash services at this campground. Guests must pack out all of their own trash, so don't forget your garbage bags!
 
Access to this campground requires 4WD vehicles with high clearance.
 
Due to the mountain pine beetle epidemic, most of the mature pine trees have been removed, resulting in less available shade.
