Deerlodge Campground

Deerlodge Campground is located 53 miles east of the Canyon Area Visitor Center. It is located on the Yampa River at the boat ramp at the head of Yampa Canyon.

It has seven shady sites suitable for tents. The sites have tables and firepits. There is running water and vault toilets, but no showers. Camping fee is $8 per site, per night. The water is turned off from October to mid-April, and there is no camping fee at that time.

Deerlodge Campground is open year-round, but winter access can be very difficult due to snow.

Did You Know?
Mormon crickets are wingless grasshoppers that swarm across roads through the summer in the western United States. These flightless insects can form such large swarms that the road appears to move and change colors where they cross.
