Ansel Watrous Campground Access

Ansel Watrous Campground Access provides 17 campsites along the Cache la Poudre River with direct access for fishing and whitewater rafting, located 13 miles northwest of Fort Collins via Highway 14.

The campground features two loops—an upper loop open year-round accommodating RVs up to 40 feet, and a seasonal lower loop limited to smaller vehicles due to a tight hairpin turn—each site equipped with tent pads, picnic tables, fire rings, and bear lockers.

Potable water is available until late September, and vault toilets are provided, though note that the lower loop's tight access road makes it unsuitable for large trailers.
