Lake Irwin Campground Access

Lake Irwin Campground Access provides vehicle access to a high-elevation (10,200 ft) alpine lake near Crested Butte with 25 campsites offering direct water access for paddling and fishing.

The campground features vault toilets, fire pits, and picnic tables at each site, though note that potable water is not available and the access road is rough and unpaved.

Popular for kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding, and fishing, the campground operates seasonally (mid-June to early October) with sites available on both a reservation and first-come, first-served basis at $24/night.
