Welcome to Prospector’s Rush campground located on a 5-acre old mining claim near Idaho Springs, Colorado. This unique rustic campground offers visitors a chance to reconnect with nature while experiencing the rich history of the area. 4WD or AWD is necessary to access our property!!! Accessing the campsite is an off-road adventure. Please only book if you are comfortable with off-road driving. As you arrive, you'll be greeted by the untouched beauty of the Rocky Mountains and the sound of a nearby stream. The campground is surrounded by towering pine trees and a variety of wildlife (moose, deer, elk, turkeys and black bear), providing a peaceful and serene atmosphere. Prospector’s Rush campground offers tent sites and RV sites, each with plenty of space for campers to spread out and enjoy the natural surroundings.

Prospector‘s Rush #3
Beautiful views. Stayed in campsite 3, which had plenty of room to stretch. If you have kids who will want to run around and play - not the best location for that as there are steep hills and through roads that aren’t the best for toddlers.

Campsite #3 is spectacular! It's going to be hard to top this location. Very remote with an absolutely amazing view! Just what we were looking for. We were the only ones in the camp in mid-April. Pretty chilly evening with plenty of wind but the view makes up for that.

Prospector‘s Rush #3
One the most stunning campsites I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at. We did experience some unexpected weather with 4” of snow both nights we stayed but we thought it just made the view pop all the more. Emphasis on capable 4wd if weather is expected, we have a 4wd suv and managed to get in and out despite the weather but definitely not doable without. All said and done we will absolutely be back again in the warmer months
