The tiny Statutory Town of Campo is tucked away in the southeast corner of the state. It’s located on Colorado’s high plains at an elevation of 4,344 ft.

In 2020 it boasted a population of 103 residents. It’s located nearby the Comanche National Grassland on both sides of U.S. Highway 287/385. The Spanish word for “field” gives Campo its name.

This Baca County town was incorporated on March 6th, 1950. It had grown around the Campo Post Office when it was built in 1913.
