Pike-San Isabel/Twin Peaks
Overview
Overview
The Twin Peaks Campground is situated within the expansive Pike and San Isabel National Forest, offering a quintessential high-altitude camping experience in Colorado. This destination is defined by its rugged beauty and immersion in nature, making it a favored spot for those looking to disconnect from the modern world. The environment is heavily wooded and rustic, providing a peaceful retreat for visitors who appreciate the quiet atmosphere of the Rocky Mountains.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned near the shores of Twin Lakes, the campground provides direct access to some of the most scenic vistas in the region. The elevation here is significant, which keeps temperatures cool throughout the summer months. Travelers will find themselves nestled in a landscape defined by dramatic mountain peaks and dense pine forests, offering a true wilderness feel while remaining accessible via local mountain roads. The area serves as a gateway to the high-alpine environment.
Amenities & Park Features
This is a primitive style campground, meaning it is best suited for those who are comfortable with self-contained camping. Visitors will find basic site features including fire rings and picnic tables designed for outdoor dining. While the facilities are straightforward, the grounds are well-maintained to preserve the natural integrity of the forest. Guests should note that there are vault toilets available on-site, but visitors should plan to bring their own water and manage waste accordingly.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
The proximity to Twin Lakes is the primary draw for outdoor enthusiasts. Guests can easily access the water for boating and fishing, or explore the various hiking trails that wind through the National Forest. The nearby Interlaken Trail is a popular choice for those looking to combine history with a scenic trek. Additionally, the region is a launchpad for those hoping to tackle some of Colorado’s most famous fourteener mountain peaks during their stay.
Who This Park Is Best For
Twin Peaks is ideal for self-sufficient RVers and campers who prioritize seclusion and mountain scenery over resort-style amenities. It is a perfect match for outdoor adventurers, hikers, and those who prefer a quiet night under the stars. If you value a wilderness experience and are prepared for dry camping, this park offers a direct connection to the spectacular natural landscape of the Sawatch Range without the crowds of urban tourist hubs.

John Kirkpatrick
Great campground, close to the highway but near the river sound was covered. Very clean and well taken care of.

Nice clean campground east of Independence Pass. 35 spots. Several a little too close to the highway but luckily not a lot of traffic, especially at night. Went on a Wednesday and busier than we expected. Spots were limited and not many for bigger RVs. There’s a double spot hidden right next to the river. Good room between spots though. Clean restrooms. Nice camp hosts and met some nice people. We would go back.

This is an excellent campground with a river running along the southern edge. Camp hosts in July of 2025 were what made this a truly excellent trip. Will return as it is a great site with access to several 14ers.

This is a REALLY nice and very CLEAN site. Bathrooms were clean and fresh. Camp hosts are great! Multiple sites border the Lake River and there is “easy” access to the river.
