Campsite Falls is a 10-foot waterfall on Glacier Creek in Larimer County, Colorado, in the Southern Rockies region. It lies about 9.1 miles southwest of Estes Park and roughly 26.8 miles northwest of Boulder as the crow flies.
At 10 feet it is one of the lowest falls in the state’s records: of the 162 Colorado waterfalls with a documented height only 1 are shorter, while the typical Colorado waterfall stands around 65 feet. By form it is a block waterfall, wider than it is tall, spilling over a broad ledge.
The Southern Rockies are high, rugged mountains with alpine peaks, spruce-fir and lodgepole forest, aspen groves and glacial valleys. Snowmelt drives strong spring flows over granite and volcanic cliffs. Glacier Creek carries 4 recorded waterfalls; the biggest of them reaches 25 feet.
