Motorcycle Camping on Slumgullion PassThere are actually two passes on CO 149 coming down from Lake City to Creede, Slumgullion and Spring Creek Passes. Along the way there are two motorcycle-accessible campgrounds. Silver Thread Campground is near South Clear Creek Falls as you come down Spring Creek Pass. Marshall Park Campground is near Creede. There is another campground east of Creede – Palisade Campground – that I passed but did not check out as it was getting too dark. I’ll try to check that out next time I'm out that way. Silver Thread Campground This campground is very near South Clear Creek Falls and has a good gravel road throughout. There are 11 campsites, all of which offer tables and fire pits. There is water available and vault toilets. The one night fee is $19. Marshall Park Campground
The campground is about .4 mile off the main highway on good gravel. There are 16 sites and the fee is $19 per night. |

Silver
Thread Campground may have been called something else at one point. I don’t find
it in my old campgrounds book but it was certainly there as we rode CO 149 in
July of 2008. 
Marshall
Park Campground is a little west of Creede along CO 149, right alongside the river.
Amenities include tables, fire rings, and vault toilets.
