Built in 1942 as a training camp for a WWII army force, this campsite is now home to Camp Jeep. Camp Hale, in west-central Colorado, was first set up to provide mountain and winter warfare training for World War II soldiers. Eagle Park was the site of the camp as it provided perfect conditions for winter training in skiing, rock climbing and survival. Sections of the East Fork of the Eagle River and the surrounding camp area are now on the register of National Historic Places and remain today to preserve the rich history of the area. Today visitors to Camp Hale can enjoy a campground, historic plaques, and many hiking and biking trails. Nova Guides manages a lodge, cabins and many activities on Camp Hale as well.
