Annual Fall Campout
@ Camp Hale East Fork Group Campsite
Thank you for your interest in Colorado Mountain Musher's annual campout. This is a great weekend for newbies to meet members that have been engaged in sled dog sports for years. We have equipment you can borrow. Come practice or start brand new! This is also a reunion for members to see each other before the season really kicks off.
This campground has composting toilets, but no water. There is no electric hookup.
The sooner you register, the sooner we can secure you a spot. There are limited camping spots.
