About Horseshoe
Horseshoe Campground is eight miles west of Fairplay on CR 18. It sits at 10,600 feet elevation along Horseshoe Creek, near a grassy meadow among aspen, Engelmann spruce and Bristlecone pines. Trees provide good privacy between campsites, which are located at the base of Sheep Mountain. The primitive campground is located near Mount Sherman, Lincoln, Bross and Democrat - all impressive peaks for avid hikers. Nearby Limber Grove Trail, a short mountainside path winds through 1,000-year-old limber pine. Fishing or wading in Horseshoe Creek are popular activities. Horseshoe Campground has 19 sites with parking spurs 25 to 40 feet long with a maximum trailer length of 25 feet. Picnic tables, vault toilets, drinking water and campfire rings are provided.
