Valle Tio Vinces is a small, partially developed campground located along the Continental Divide Trail and the Great Divide Bicycle Route. The nearest town is the tiny community of Quemado, about a 50 minute drive away.

The campground offers 4 different campsites, each with a picnic table and fire ring. Valle Tio Vinces is ideal for tent campers, but can also accommodate mid size camp trailers under 30 feet in length.

Within the campground you’ll find a vault toilet. There are no other amenities including no water or trash.

The campground is also equestrian friendly, and offers two drinkers with 4 corrals each. Water availability is dependent on conditions.

Camping at Valle Tio Vinces is free. No reservations possible. Please observe the 14 day camping limit.
