Tucker Ponds Campground Access
Tucker Ponds Campground Access
Tucker Ponds Campground is a high-altitude (9,600 ft) first-come, first-served campground in Rio Grande National Forest with 15 sites in a single loop, offering basic amenities including pit toilets, potable water, picnic tables, and fire pits.
The campground provides access to two 10-acre ponds across the road for fishing and a separate accessible fishing site with parking and accessible docks, though sites are rustic with uneven terrain and the area shows effects of past spruce bark beetle damage.
Located 13. 5 miles west of South Fork via Highway 160 and a 2. 7-mile gravel forest road (single-lane with turnouts), the campground operates Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day with nightly fees of $26 for single sites.
