Activities and Recreation Information
If you want adventure, this is the right place for you. Highlands Camp & Retreat Center has so much to offer both on-site and nearby. Surrounded by the Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park, most visitors come to Allenspark, Colorado to admire its beautiful scenery.
We have made a name for ourselves with our proximity to Colorado’s most popular national park. Located at the park’s southeast corner, Allenspark sits along the scenic Peak to Peak Scenic Highway. 12 miles south of Estes Park, our small town provides more than just easy access to Rocky Mountain National Park, it provides the convenience of staying nearby, hassle-free dining, accommodations and meeting space.
90 minutes from Denver airport and Boulder a beautiful 60 minute drive away.
