Hidden at the base of the Divide Range, San Miguel Ledges is a camping and fishing paradise. The short out-and-back trail travels along the always-flowing San Miguel River. The gravel and dirt road easily travels to a pair of organized campgrounds, with numerous sites along the river. The dense vegetation along the river opens up in a few spots where you can fish or wade in the chilly mountain runoff. Ledges Rockhouse Campground is the largest campground along the drive and the turn-around point for the trail. There is a nightly fee to use the campground, and it includes a restroom, 12 RV and 12 tent camping sites, cabanas, picnic tables, grills, and a boat ramp. The site is open all year. If you prefer free, primitive-type camping, numerous short side trails lead to campsites near the river. In dry conditions, the trail can be driven in 2WD.
