About Camp Hale Memorial Campground

Overview

Camp Hale Memorial Campground sits at an elevation of 9,200 feet, offering guests a wonderful setting for recreation and relaxation. Camp Hale is historic because the 10th Mountain Division, an unit of 15,000 men, trained here in mountaineering and skiing techniques during WWII. Some saw combat in Italy during the war.

Most of the buildings have been torn down, but foundations and other "footprints" remain.

The 99th Infantry Battalion (Viking Battalion) also trained at Camp Hale. There are interpretive signs along US Rt. 24, explaining the history and accomplishments of Camp Hale.

Recreation

With the headwaters of the Eagle River nearby, anglers will find pockets of solitude, casting lines for rainbow and brown

trout. The waterway was named by the local Ute Indians who thought there were as many branches of the river as there were tail

feathers on an eagle.

Several ponds south of the campground offer good fishing opportunities.

The Colorado Trail crosses within walking distance of Camp Hale, and gravel roads provide easy walking and bike paths within
