Deep within the Uncompahgre Plateau of western Colorado, Campbell Lake Road is a moderate 10-mile 4x4 trail that travels west to east, connecting the rugged uranium mining district to the Divide Road at over 9,000'. If you are looking for epic high-elevation camping and a slight challenge along the way, this is the trail for you. No camping will be found along the western portion of the trail within the BLM lands, but limited, small, primitive campsites can be found on the eastern end in the pines near Divide Road. The trail travels through a burn area that has started to come back to life, but it doesn't take away from the unobstructed panoramas of the Manti-La Sal Mountains. The trail comprises loose dirt, rocks, narrow ledges, and tight switchbacks. The entire route is wide enough for full-size vehicles with 4x4, offroad tires, and high ground clearance. The higher elevations within the National Forest will be impassable during winter.
