About: Coffee Pot Spring Campground is located on a south-facing slope at the edge of an aspen, spruce and fir forest overlooking an open meadow and 3 snowcapped mountain ranges beyond. Coffee Pot Spring heads French Creek, which runs through the west side of the campground. Each site has a fairly level driveway capable of accommodating RV’s or vehicles with trailers less than 30 feet long. Six of the sites are in the open and 3 are partially shaded. There are a number of 4-wheel drive roads farther up the Coffee Pot Road. Vehicles must stay on routes designated as open for their type of use. A mile back down the Coffee Pot Road is the Deep Creek Canyon Overlook.
