 The Upper and Lower Parts of the Campground area  |
Purgatoire Campground is also known as Potato Patch Campground from the old days. It is tucked away in the forest, just beyond the edge of the North Lake State Wildlife Area. While the area is best known for its' plentiful and colorful wildflowers, there is also excellent fishing here in the North Fork of the Purgatoire River. The campground has been improved and is maintained by a private concessionaire and is a fee area. The parking lot at the south terminus of the North Fork Trail is free. Directions: Just south of North Lake on State Highway 12 there is a dirt road leading west for 4 miles to Purgatoire Campground. The road is well signed. |
 Just below the campground is this jeep trail to the left - going to treeline on Maxwell Peak  North Fork of the Purgatoire in late fall  The North Fork Trailhead in late November  |
