Posted up at an altitude of nearly 10,000 feet in a shaded lodgepole pine and subalpine fir forest, Baby Doe Campground lies at the eastern shore of Turquoise Lake.

Gentle Turquoise Lake Nature Trail lines the shoreline and also connects to the 6.4-mile Turquoise Lake Trail that runs parallel from Sugar Loaf Dam to May Queen Campground. Also nearby is the Mount Massive Wilderness Area, over 30,000 acres of primitive land including Colorado's second highest peak (14,421 feet). Fun fact about this campground: it was named for Elizabeth McCourt, the 2nd wife of silver king Horace Tabor. Baby Doe was her miner nickname.

Love this place. 10,200 feet up in the Rockies, big sites, clear Alpine lake full of trout. Been going many years but this was our best trip. Lake recently stocked with trout, caught 2 salmon in the runoffs. The camphosts Sara and Roy are awesome. Clean bathrooms, clean sites, great tips, warm, fun and welcoming. Grandkids loved Junior Ranger activities from them. Best hosts experienced in all of our 7 trips there. Book in advance, sites get locked in 6 mos in advance, for good reason!

This campground is best suited for campers that have no children or pets, people who will spend zero time at their campsite or folks who are in their tent/camper by 9:30 pm. **This campground has zero tolerance for children** - Quiet hours between 10pm - 8am mean: No more than 8 people around the fire, even if you’re quiet. You cannot ride your bike from one campsite to another because your headlamp might bother someone. No talking. No music, even if it can’t be heard outside your campsite. No laughing. (We seriously got yelled at for laughing when they told us there were 6 minutes and 33 seconds left until quiet time). Sara and Roy are the most aggressive camp hosts we’ve ever encountered.

You can see everyone - very open. Beware of mosquitos!
