Azalea Cove Campground

Azalea Cove Campground is a primitive, walk-in/bike-in/boat-in campground on Union Valley Reservoir's eastern shore, offering vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire pits with no fees or reservations required.

Located at 4,800 feet elevation in Eldorado National Forest's Crystal Basin, it's accessible approximately half a mile on foot from the nearest parking area or one mile by boat from the launch ramp, making it ideal for anglers and boaters seeking a quieter alternative to vehicle-accessible sites.

Campers must bring their own water and pack out all trash; the campground operates seasonally from June through September.
