Printer Boy Campground

How does a campground redefine group camping with breathtaking mountain views and expansive recreational opportunities? Printer Boy Group Campground, located within Colorado's Turquoise Lake Recreation Area near Leadville, boasts an ideal setting for gathering with friends or family. Its lakefront setting, surrounded by towering lodgepole pine and subalpine fir forests, combines natural beauty with practical amenities for an enjoyable experience.

Featuring four reservable group sites, two of which can accommodate up to 75 people, this campground is perfectly suited for large gatherings. Each site includes picnic tables, campfire circles, grills, and access to a centrally located cooking shelter with electricity. Additional facilities such as vault toilets, a playground, ball fields, horseshoe pits, and a volleyball area provide entertainment for all ages. While water has historically been available, campers are advised to bring their supply for fire safety and personal use due to potential changes in service.

The campground's proximity to the serene Turquoise Lake offers opportunities for fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and hiking the lakeshore trails, including the 6.4-mile Turquoise Lake Trail. Within a 30-minute drive lies the historic town of Leadville, a charming hub with mining heritage, as well as Mount Massive Wilderness, known for its alpine landscapes and wildlife spotting. Whether for a weekend getaway or extended vacation, Printer Boy Campground's blend of isolation, amenities, and natural charm exceeds typical camping expectations.
