Pike and San Isabel National Forest
Abutting Leadville to the northeast is the Pike and San Isable National Forest. Within the national forest are several campgrounds, some that accommodate RVs. The Baby Doe campground has sites for RV camping. RVs need to be self contained with gray water tanks and generators. There are posted quiet hours when generator use is prohibited. Dogs are allowed but need to be kept on leashes on trails and in the campgrounds of the national forest. Hiking and biking trails are plentiful, and there are streams for canoe, fishing and kayaking.
