Tucker Ponds Campground

US Forest Service · Colorado

Tucker Ponds Campground in Colorado. Ringed marker is this site; the other dots are the 939 public campsites we map in Colorado.

This high-altitude campground (9,600 feet) is a single loop tucked into a grove of spruce trees adjoining an open grassy meadow. Many of the mature spruce trees within the campground have been killed by the Spruce Bark Beetle and were all removed during the spring of 2015. Today the campground is way more open and sunny with open views of Fox Mountain. The two Tucker Ponds are across the road from the entrance to the campground and offer a good family fishing experience. The 2 Tucker Ponds are about 10 acres each.
