Hahn's Peak Lake Campground Tour: A Quiet Escape in Northern Colorado

Escape to the tranquil beauty of Northern Colorado with our full tour of Hahn's Peak Lake Campground. We recorded this video on Memorial Day 2025, just before the campground opened for the season in mid-June. Nestled in the Routt National Forest at an elevation of 8,400 feet, this is the perfect spot for campers looking for a quiet, high-elevation retreat.

To get to the campground, I hiked the one-mile West Side Lake Trail from the day-use area, crossing two snow drifts still remaining from the winter. In this video, we'll give you a detailed look at each of the 26 campsites. We'll show you the campground's amenities, including the location of the vault toilets and trash service, and share our experience with the cell service.

Join us as we explore the campground's serene setting. You can also fish or boat with an electric motor on the lake.
