Bockman Campground
Overview
Overview
Bockman Campground in Walden, Colorado places travelers right into the rugged landscape of North Park, a high-altitude mountain basin enclosed by dramatic peaks. This mountain destination serves as a rustic basecamp for visitors looking to experience the vast expanses, dense pine forests, and wide-open sky characteristic of Jackson County and the surrounding public lands of northern Colorado.
Location & Surroundings
Situated in an area defined by sweeping high-desert sagebrush flats giving way to dense subalpine timber, the region around Walden sits at an elevation over 8,000 feet. Travelers navigating Route 125 or Route 14 will experience rapid weather shifts typical of the Rocky Mountain high country, where summer days bring bright sunshine and afternoon thunderstorms, while nights stay crisp even in July.
Amenities & Park Features
Because specific on-site infrastructure details at Bockman Campground are not universally published, RVers should verify critical operational specifics directly before arrival. Campers should proactively contact the facility to confirm operating dates, maximum vehicle length capacities, water availability, and the specific nature of hookups or primitive sites, ensuring the campground aligns with their specific rig requirements.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The surrounding Rout National Forest offers endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, including miles of unpaved backcountry roads, hiking trails, and premier trout fishing in nearby feeder creeks and reservoirs. Outdoor enthusiasts frequently make the drive toward the Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge south of town for prime wildlife viewing, spotting moose, pronghorn, and numerous migratory bird species.
Who This Park Is Best For
This campground suits self-contained RVers, outdoor enthusiasts, and travelers seeking an authentic mountain-basin experience away from crowded commercial resorts. Road-trippers traversing northern Colorado routes who prioritize dark night skies, wildlife observation, and immediate access to public forest lands will find this location an ideal match for their travel style.

Beautiful views and clean bathrooms.

This is my second time camping here. I am a big fan of space 332, which gives you a beautiful view to the west down the valley. Also, space 337 is awesome. After walking the campground a few times I think space 324 would also be a winner. The bathrooms at this campground are incredibly clean – – thank you staff! There are dumpsters for your garbage, but there is no running water in the campground so be sure to fill up with water either at the visitor center or at the dump station. Even on the Fourth of July weekend the campground was really quiet despite being at full capacity. On July 4 weekend, even with temperatures in the high 60s nighttime temperatures were in the 30s and we woke up to frost on the 10th. Bring warm clothes!

Nice out of the way place, boondocking at its best, we used our generators for power, the wild like moves through the campground, beautiful area mountains with snow caps. The only issue we experienced was the water supply was off due to a bad pump. We had to go a mile or so to the entrance for water. Otherwise no complaints.

Nice campground but with the lack of trees you feel a little packed in when your neighbor is not very far from you I would say we were within 15 ft of the next campsite. So it's hard to feel like you're camping when you're looking right at the people next to you but it is a nice location

Solid place in the middle of a field. Nice toilets, and good space between camps.
