Pulver Mountain Group Site

Pulver group site offers a private area with a large pavilion, several tables and a large communal campfire pit. For your convenience, a double-stall vaulted restroom is provided. Within the group site are 6 individual campsites for your guests, each having their own table and campfire ring. Firewood is provided by a roaming host, who can be located nearby at Round Mountain campground. Access to the west field is by foot only and for your use of additional tents, recreation, or main event activities. This fairly flat terrain is covered with natural grasses and speckled with pines providing plenty of shade. If solar and sunbathing is in your itinerary, a generous amount of sun is easily acquired as well. Being in the National Forest, nearby is Eleven Mile Canyon, part of the historical Midland Railroad. You can drive along the railbed, following the South Platte River for nine miles to the base of the dam of Eleven Mile Reservoir, while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the river and granite canyon. The open area of Eleven Mile Reservoir is state park, whereas the canyon, in the National Forest, is renowned for picturesque views, rock climbing, kayaking, and fishing. Jefferson Lake is about 45 minutes north with spectacular wildlife, hiking, and hand launched boating; it flows toward the basin of Pulver Group Site and on into Tarryall Reservoir, a state park visited often for fishing by boat and from the shoreline. Offroading is located just outside the gate to the south, and to the north Badger Flats offers a large area to explore and admire the beauty of sub-alpine terrain, showing remnants of early settlers and active ranching (OHV must be trailered to and from). Other national forest areas nearby include Wilkerson Pass, Manitou Lakes, Rampart Range, Deckers, Pikes Peak, North Catamount Reservoir and Clear Creek Reservoir, along with Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument and the state park areas at Spinney Mountain Reservoir, Mueller State Park and Antero Reservoir. Nearby towns are Lake George, Woodland Park, Cripple Creek and Fairplay.
