The Cimarron River is formed by three forks that come together just above Silver Jack
Reservoir.
It is a 22.5 mile long tributary of the Gunnison River.
Big Cimarron Campground is located in the Uncompahgre National Forest just downstream
from Silver Jack and Beaver Lake Campgrounds.
Many of the campsites here are along the Cimarron River
Big Cimarron Campground.
Campsite one on the right before the sign.
We're here in the first half of September a day after the big snowstorm
Fees are twelve dollars per night.
There is no water here or trash service.
You can get water two miles south at Silver Jack Campground
Campsite number two on the right
It said the campground host for this was up at Silver Jack
Campsite 12.
Just how far back is it?
Leaving site 12.
Site number three is on the right
Here is site number four
Six is on the right and we're pulling into number five
Nice long one
That's wild with steam coming up.
Another look at six on the right.
On the side camera.
Number seven
Followed by eight.
Site number nine and some steps coming down.
I wonder if those steps are from 12 to go to the restroom here?
Oh yeah, it is.
Alright number 10 on the right side
and looks like we've got a turnaround loop here
I'm guessing this is 11.
Let's see if I can knock the snow off this post
Yep, number 11.
That's really melting off the trees.
Yep.
It's really falling.
It's warming up now that the sun's out.
Alright, site 11 coming around on the side camera.
Looping out of here.
So 12 campsites here at the Big Cimarron.
I think everything on the right-hand side coming in backs up to what is probably the
Cimarron River or the Big Cimarron River.
Cimarron River.
Alright, we're looking straight into site number 10.
Restroom across from 10.
Nine on the right.
8 on the left is the pull-off.
Look into site seven.
Site number six
Site number five was just on the right and that one site number four on the right.
And here is number three.
Thought maybe I heard the river for a minute.
I think the river's just right beyond site three.
Which would make number one and two great campsites as well since they kind of overlook
that.
Alright, and here is site number one.
Oh yeah, I can see the uh Cimarron River right back here in the trees.
Site number one at Big Cimarron
No tents back here
Perfect
