Cutthroat Campground - Trappers Lake - Flat Tops Wilderness

Published 2020-09-11
100+ miles round-trip to the nearest gas station or grocery store, Cutthroat Campground was the perfect campground to get away for 5 nights.
Cutthroat Campground is one of five campgrounds at Trappers Lake. The campgrounds are surrounded by the Flat Tops Wilderness Area and plenty of places to go hiking and fishing.

    Sweet! I'm planning a long camping roadtrip circle around western Colorado this fall. SO MUCH TO SEE.
  • @steveburns6628
    Excellent attention to detail. The other videos of the area are definitely on our watch list. Thanks for sharing.
  • @LLC273
    Wonderful tour- thank you for walking each site.
  • Amazing place. Great job and info on Trappers lake - Flat Tops Wilderness. Safe travels.
  • @vallgarr
    I loved your videos before but they are even better now. Really appreciate the walk through and other info about the area. Nice job!
  • @lesliebrown1517
    The flattops are quite serene. Family has camped, backpacked various locations for decades. Most people unaware and that is just fine.
  • @SparkyL58
    Great video! We enjoyed the walk-thru review.
  • I think this is my favorite of your videos that I've watched. This complex is now foremost for our camping plans for Colorado in 2022. (We're already planning for our six-week celebration trip for my wife's retirement.)
  • Awesome video! I enjoyed all the information shared about the area, and the walk throughs. The shot that you cut to several times was beautiful with the deer in the distance. It was hilarious when it almost came right on your camera and then realized it wasn’t alone! I was busy watching the squirrel on the downed tree and didn’t even realize at first that there was a deer in that shot as well. One of your best!
  • Great video, very informative, would love to see more like this with in depth walk arounds when possible.
  • Thanks for your many reviews.  I recently looked for a campgrounds on my trip way to Mesa Verde and went to your site and found the Rincon Campground plus a great review.. Made a reservation and all set. Thanks again for your help.
  • We were just up on the flat tops a couple of days ago. We were on the southern end coming up from Dotsero. This is our next, coming in from the northern end, looks more populated, but still amazing. Thanks for the video!

    Enjoyed the extra footage of the trailheads and site walk arounds. What dates were you there, surprised that there were so many open sites. Agreed about mosquitoes, just as bad on the Yampa side. Great job on this one!
  • Great video! Looked at some campers today... might be getting one soon to go work in the Yampa valley region.
  • @jeffbluhm7314
    Do you remember if sites 6 or 7 had good flat spots for tent. Hard to tell for sure in video. Thanks!

    Great videos! Just curious what model is that campstove you are using?
