From rocky peaks to caving adventures, camping near Eagle has it all.
An hour and a half outside Aspen, Eagle makes a great base camp for exploring western Colorado. Private camping sites near town accommodate RVs with full hookups, fire rings, and access to Eagle River and Colorado River. Day trip to White River National Forest and Maroon Bells Scenic Area, where the 3.6-mile Crater Lake Trail delivers stunning views of the lake and twin peaks. Or visit Fulford Cave—open from mid-April to mid-October—and Yeoman Park for views of Craig Peak. They both offer rustic tent camping, group sites, and limited RV parking with vault toilets. For a remote camping trip, head to Sylvan Lake State Park, a mountain oasis with rustic tent and RV camping—no hookups available—as well as cabin rentals and yurts near the park’s namesake lake. At 8,500 feet up, Sylvan Lake is an escape from the bustle, which means cell phone reception is limited or unavailable in most of the park.
