About
US Forest Service campground. The Hornsilver Campground is located right off Highway 24 about 10 miles south of the town of Minturn, CO. It is directly across Hwy 24 from the Homestake Creek, which offers fishing opportunities. There are several trailheads off Homestake Road #703, which is about 1 mile south of the campground on Hwy.24. Not reservable through Recreation.gov, so plan on first-come, first-served; check with the ranger district for current conditions and fees.
