North Camp - Elk

Welcome to your ideal elk hunting retreat in GMU 421! This nearly 500-acre property offers prime hunting opportunities for archery and rifle seasons, with Over The Counter (OTC) tags available for archery, 2nd and 3rd rifle seasons. During archery season, OTC tags are valid on private land only. Not only does North Camp offer exclusive access to private land, it also offers direct and easy access to Grand Mesa National Forest. Also featured here are four cozy cabins equipped with all the essentials for a comfortable stay, including bathrooms, showers, cooking stations, and WiFi. Horse corrals are available for those who prefer to explore the terrain on horseback, and responsible ATV use is permitted for easy navigation throughout the property. The reservation fee for this property includes the entire season and all of the cabins, which can accommodate groups of up to eight hunters. Note that the overall cost will be the same whether you have 2 hunters or hit the maximum guest limit. Although this property offers several amazing amenities, this is still a DIY hunt and must be treated as such. That means retrieving your own downed game and providing your own equipment necessary for successful hunting.

North Camp Elk is made up of a diverse ecosystem offering essential resources for elk survival. Sage-covered hills, dense oak brush, and tall grasses provide cover and forage. Water sources like Middleton Creek and a pond serve hydration and wallowing needs. Positioned near Bald Mountain, this area is a crucial stopover for elk migration. With abundant resources, it sustains a healthy elk population year-round, contributing to the region's ecological balance.
