About Wheeler Peak

Located at 9,886 feet above sea level, Wheeler Peak Campground is the highest-elevation campground in the entire National Park System. Nestled in aspen groves in the shadow of Wheeler Peak, this campground is a perfect base camp for exploring the park's alpine region - where camping is otherwise prohibited. Prepare for dynamic weather and cold temperatures even during the summer. Potable water is not available.
