Tom Bennett Campground

Tom Bennett Campground is a primitive, first-come, first-served campground with 10 sites situated directly adjacent to the South Fork Cache la Poudre River in a lodgepole pine forest at 9,000 feet elevation.

Each site includes a picnic table and fire grate, but the facility offers no potable water, electric hookups, or reservations—making it ideal for self-sufficient tent campers and small RVs (parking spurs accommodate 15-25 feet only).

The remote location near Pingree Park provides excellent access to hiking trails like Emmaline Lake and stream fishing opportunities, though visitors should note the lack of cell service and prepare for cold nights even in summer months.
