Recreation

The Centennial Bike Trail is a paved, accessible recreation trail that connects Red Rocks Group Campground to Manitou Lake Picnic Area, Colorado and South Meadows Campgrounds. The trail is popular among hikers, roller bladers and bicyclists. The nearby Rainbow Falls OHV Trail System and North Divide OHV Trail System are recommended for off-road vehicle enthusiasts. Manitou Lake is a short drive away, and is great for picnics and trout fishing. Canoeing is also a popular activity.

The campground offers one group site that can accommodate up to 100 people and 44 vehicles. It can be reserved for overnight or day use. The site is equipped with picnic tables and a campfire circle with benches. Additional tables and grills are scattered throughout the area. Vault toilets, drinking water and trash collection are provided.

Natural Features

This rustic group site is situated in a ponderosa pine forest at an elevation of 8,200 feet. A nearby hiking trail leads to a unique red sandstone formation. Most of Red Rocks Group Campground is shaded by ponderosa pine trees.
