About this campground
Like a little action and a lot of scenery? Whether it’s hunting down dinosaur tracks and checking out the canyon in the Comanche National Grassland (an hour’s drive), boating and jet-skiing in Trinidad Lake State Park (45 minutes) or relishing the water of the Arkansas river (45 minutes), Aarondale won’t have you missing out on either. This dog-friendly Colorado site is in almost untouched wilderness and it’s pretty primitive here, as there are no toilets, electricity or running water on site.

19th-century people used to travel this way once upon a time, as the site is on the historic Santa Fe Trail – a sure bet for those of you who fancy a trail that combines solid scenery with historic remains and museums along the way showing how freight wagons used to trawl their way from state to state. It's an off-grid setup here, and you’ll be with adults only (and their dogs) but you should be aware that emergency facilities are few and far in between. It’s a real wildlife haven here, but of course, but that also means that you’ll be staying at your own risk – bears, wolves, mountain lions, badgers, rattle snakes and tarantulas live around here. There are places to get your shopping done under 45 minutes’ drive to each side of the site, so you’ll want to visit either Trinidad or La Junta for bits and pieces for a barbecue or firepit.
