Pleasant Campground

Pleasant Campground is a remote 10-unit campsite in Eldorado National Forest accessible by a 4-mile foot trail or 3-mile boat access across Loon Lake, making it ideal for backcountry camping and paddling enthusiasts.

The campground operates mid-June through mid-October at 6,400 feet elevation and offers fire rings and picnic tables, but requires visitors to bring their own water and has composting toilets only.
