Green Ridge
Hosted by USDA Forest Service
New listing
Green Ridge Campground is located on beautiful Shadow Mountain Reservoir, southwest of Grand Lake in north central Colorado. Visitors enjoy the area for its great boating, fishing and hiking opportunities. Shadow Mountain Lake is part of the Arapaho National Recreation Area and offers boating, swimming and fishing. Anglers cast for kokanee salmon, as well as rainbow, brown, mackinaw and cutthroat trout, and National Fishing Week is held annually the first week of June. A boat ramp and dock are located within the campground, and the Colorado River can also be accessed from it. Numerous hiking and horseback riding trails are in the vicinity, including the East Shore Trail (part of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail), Roaring Fork Trail and Monarch Lake Trail. The campground offers 79 non-electric, single-family sites, as well as one double and one triple capacity campsite. A single site may hold up to eight people. Picnic tables, campfire rings and tent pads are provided, as are flush and vault toilets and drinking water. Firewood may be gathered in the forest or purchased from the host. The campground is situated between the southern shore of Shadow Mountain Lake and the banks of the Colorado River, at an elevation of approximately 8,300 feet. Afternoon thunderstorms should be expected during the summer months. Due to the mountain pine beetle infestation and consequent removal of hazardous trees, there is little to no shade available in the campground; since 2008, 3,000 pine seedlings have been planted to remedy the problem in the future. Rocky Mountain National Park's west entrance is located north of Grand Lake. With lush valleys and craggy peaks reaching elevations higher than 14,000 feet, the park offers scenic driving, hiking, backpacking, fishing, horseback riding and wildlife viewing.
