Sleeping Elephant Campground

Sleeping Elephant Campground is a rustic 15-site first-come, first-served facility in Roosevelt National Forest at 7,800 feet elevation along Highway 14 in Poudre Canyon, offering vault toilets, hand-pump water, picnic tables, and fire pits at each site.

While the Cache la Poudre River flows nearby, most of it is on private land in the immediate vicinity, limiting direct river access from the campground.

The facility is better suited for tent camping and smaller RVs (max 30 feet), and serves as a base for fishing, hiking, and scenic driving in the Poudre Canyon area.
