Lake Irwin Campground

Lake Irwin Campground offers 25 campsites (9 tent-only) at 10,385 feet elevation near Crested Butte, with direct lake access for paddling, kayaking, and fishing.

The campground features picnic tables and fire rings at each site, vault toilets, and a scenic trail circling the lake, though potable water is not available and the access road is rough and unpaved.

Reservations are recommended as the campground fills quickly, especially during summer and wildflower season (mid-July through mid-September), with sites starting at $24/night.
