About this campground
Nine and a half miles east of Estes Park on Highway 36, a forest access sign directs you west on a gravel road towards the Big Elk Meadows subdivision. The Johnny Park Road is 6 miles on this road. Ten miles south of Estes Park on Highway 7, take the Big Owl or Cabin Creek Road north of Meeker Park. At the junction of 118.1 and County Road 47, there are around 3 trailer spots before the gate. Dispersed camping with a trailer is very limited on #118 due to the roughness of the road.
