Collegiate Peaks Campground offers 56 well-spaced campsites across three loops at 9,800 feet elevation near Middle Cottonwood Creek, with vault toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and fire rings available May-September.

The campground provides excellent access to hiking trails (Denny Creek and Ptarmigan Lake trailheads within 3 miles) and creek fishing, though sites feature uneven terrain and no hookups—reservations are recommended as the campground fills quickly on weekends.

Located 11 miles west of Buena Vista on Highway 306, it serves as a base for exploring Collegiate Peaks Wilderness and nearby hot springs.
