Yeoman Campground

At an elevation of 9,000 feet, Yeoman Park Campground is located on the edge of a wetland meadow near Brush Creek and is partly within a mature spruce forest. There are beautiful views of Craig Peak (11,902 ft). The campground has 24 campsites; 11 sites have tent platforms, 15 of the sites are within a forested area and the other 9 are in the open. Eighteen sites can accommodate RVs 15-30 feet long and 6 sites have room for vehicles longer than 30 feet. Campsites in Loop B will not have picnic tables during the 2022 season. There are vault toilets, and no hookups, electric or dump stations. Part of the campground has been redesigned to accommodate visitors with disabilities: two campsites, one on either side of the accessible vault toilets in Loop A, are equipped with a modified picnic table and a low fire grill. There is also a fishing platform on Brush Creek near the park entrance, and the Yeoman Park Discovery Trail (200 yards) is accessible to those who have disabilities, with interpretive signs encouraging visitors to use their senses to experience the nature of Yeoman Park. Yeoman Park is a good place to view an extensive beaver colony. There are many opportunities to watch small mammals such as tree and ground squirrels and to see birds of prey like the red-tailed hawk. In the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the 2.3 million acre White River National Forest is a place of serenity and adventure, boasting 8 wilderness areas, 4 defined seasons and 10 peaks surpassing 14,000 feet in elevation. Bighorn sheep navigate rocky ridges, moose graze along the streams and bull elk bugle at dusk. Scenic rivers sustain populations of cutthroat, rainbow and brown trout, and alpine regions provide habitat for pika and ptarmigan. The Lake Charles Trail #1899 (5.35 miles) begins near the Fulford Cave Campground and goes into the Holy Cross Wilderness; from this trail you can also connect with Ironedge Trail #1873. Fulford Cave Trail #1875 will take you to the entrance of Fulford Cave. A visit to the historic mining town of Fulford is just a few miles up Forest Road 418, and foundations of an old Civilian Conservation Corps camp built in the 1930s can be seen in the meadow northwest of the campground.
