Fulford Cave Campground
Fulford Cave is closed from October 15 - April 15 annually. Fulford Cave Campground is located in a sparse stand of young aspen, spruce and fir, near an active beaver pond and East Brush Creek. From this high location, there are nice views of Yeoman Park below. The cave is less than 1 mile from the campground, and other area trails enter the Holy Cross Wilderness. This campground has small sites, clustered together and only one site could accommodate a vehicle up to 25 feet long. View Dates and Fees
