Camping near Holly

Where indigenous people, traders, and pioneers once crossed the prairies on the Santa Fe Trail, which connected Missouri and New Mexico, you can connect with history in Holly. Located just west of Colorado’s border with Kansas, this tiny town began as a ranching and railroad community. Today, it is a tranquil spot to take in the Eastern Plains of Colorado. Several state wildlife areas and the Comanche National Grassland offer scenic spots to take in the expansive scenery while watching for wildlife. Find tent and RV campsites, cabins, and glamping getaways with wide-open views of the stars above. For public campgrounds, explore the nearby Department of Fish and Wildlife sites and city and county parks. Or, venture further west to John Martin Reservoir State Park. While somber, the Amache National Historic Site is worth a visit and just down the road from Holly.
