NOTE: As of April 4, 2021, Bluebird Backcountry is CLOSED for the season. Please respect the landowners by not trespassing at Bear Mountain. We can’t wait to see you in the 21/22 season!

Most ski areas don’t have camping… But then again, we’re not like most ski areas. Here’s everything you need to know about camping at Bluebird.

The Basics

Ready to rough it? You’ll fit right in at Camp Bluebird. Our campground is two miles down the road from Bear Mountain, and it’s the perfect place to keep the good vibes going after your day on the skin track.

• What’s There: Fire pits, port-a-potty restroom, other backcountry-minded folks, gorgeous sunsets and views
• What’s Not There: Water, electric hookup, trash service
• Bring Your Own: Firewood, table and chairs

Reservations are required at least 24 hours in advance of camping.

Checking In and Out

Check in at the Bluebird Backcountry base area during the day or at Camp Bluebird at night. Everyone in your party will need to sign a waiver and provide contact information for safety.

• You are welcome to arrive starting at 1 p.m. on the day you have a reservation.
• Please vacate your camping spot by 11:00 a.m. the day you are checking out.
• Please note: There’s no snowplowing between 4:30 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.

Camp Bluebird Rules

In order to provide an awesome experience for all our guests, Camp Bluebird enforces the following rules: 

• Be kind and friendly! We’re all here because we love the winter backcountry experience.
• Quiet hours are from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., including generators (except emergencies).
• Fires are allowed in the provided fire pits only; please bring your own firewood.
• Please stay in the vicinity of the camping area at all times unless accompanied by the camp host.
• Well behaved dogs are allowed, but please be aware that dogs are not allowed to ski with you at Bluebird Backcountry. Please pick up after your dog!
• Please maintain at least a six-foot distance from other parties, and wear masks if six-foot distance is not possible.

Get Ready for Cold Temps

Kremmling is COLD! Mornings in the single digits or even below zero (plus windchill) aren’t uncommon. This means beautiful clear nights and crisp sunrises — and it also means campers need to be outfitted for chilly weather.

In our experience, folks who have the best experiences camping at Bluebird arrive in campervans or other rigs suited for four-season camping, including a heater. Tent camping is strongly discouraged.
