Arapaho Bay Campground
Sulphur Ranger District

Current Status:

First seven sites outside of gate are available until blocked by snow.

These sites are available for camping to groups who are self-contained. This means that groups should have a camper or RV with toilet facilities. There are no restroom facilities available this time of year. People must be prepared for temperatures that drop into the single digits or below zero at night. When the sites become blocked with snow, they will not be plowed open and will no longer be unavailable.

An ANRA daily or annual pass is required for the use of these areas in the ANRA. Passes are available at the self-serve fee machines in the ANRA (credit cards only) or at the Sulphur Ranger District office (cash, check or credit card) at 9 Ten Mile Drive, Granby, CO, Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. Annual pass voucher receipts obtained from the fee machines should be redeemed for the actual pass card at the Sulphur Ranger District office at one’s earliest convenience.
