Forest Camping
15 forest campsites that are perfect for a tent or small van.
With a mix of drive-in and walk-in sites, each campsite has a picnic table and a fire ring with propane fire pits available for rent during fire bans. These are the closest sites we have to Apex creek and are nestled in the forest, close to hiking and adaptive biking trails. Fall asleep in the cool alpine air under the stars and wake up to our beautiful mountain views.
These sites can be booked in advance and are also open for walk-in reservations, pending availability. To service the campground there are 2 heated washroom facilities with flush toilets available as well as a potable water tap. Showers and a modern and spacious dishwashing area are available at the Hummingbird Lodge. This is backcountry bougie camping at its finest.
“Awesome campsites! Loved hearing the creek.”
