Site 07 of 17 at Cardinal Mountain Campground

Rockies 7

Rockies 7 is the budget pick and a better site than the price suggests. A line of rock along the curve makes it distinctive and trees wrap around three sides. A private path leads off the site to an open view north, long-range and running for miles. Small — two decks and not much room to spare — and you park right alongside them.
