Chapman Reservoir Campground
Chapman Reservoir Campground
Chapman Reservoir Campground offers 12 first-come, first-served sites at 9,300 feet elevation in Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, with picnic tables and fire grates at each site; amenities include vault toilets but no potable water, so bring supplies.
The campground provides excellent access for paddleboarding and fishing on Chapman Reservoir with wakeless boating only (electric trolling motors allowed), plus nearby hiking and scenic drives along the Flat Tops Trail Scenic Byway.
Located 13 miles from Yampa on Forest Service Road 940, the campground is typically open June through October and charges $20/night (exact cash or check only); note that the remote location requires advance planning for supplies, as the nearest resupply is about an hour away.
