About this campground

Timberline Campground near Jefferson, CO. The Timberline Campground, near Kenosha Pass, is about 7 miles southwest of the small town of Grant. The abundance of aspens at the site creates impressive fall scenery along the forested hillside. Wildlife in the area includes golden eagles, elk, mule deer, moose, chipmunks and porcupines.

Natural Features

The family campsites are divided into two loops, that are separated by a rise. Both loops sit among a stand of aspen, spruce and lodgepole pines along Hoosier Creek. The campground sits at an altitude of 9,700 feet and features mild summer temperatures and cool nights.

Recreation

What campers say

Timberline Campground is a quiet, primitive mountain site with lots of shade, aspens and attractive views — a good base for nearby passes and hiking. Expect a rough dirt access road (take caution with trailers), no potable water on site, and no onsite firewood sales, so bring water and wood or plan to buy nearby. Vault toilets are available and are generally kept clean but are limited in number. Hosts do stop by occasionally. Wildlife sightings (moose and other animals) are possible. Sites are often spacious, though a few can feel close together.
