Camp George West Historic District, Military historic district in Golden, Colorado.
Camp George West Historic District is a military historic district in Golden with multiple former military structures, ammunition storage bunkers, and underground facilities spread across the grounds. The site is located at 15000 South Golden Road and now serves multiple government agencies.
The district was established in 1903 as a National Guard facility and shooting range. Nearby hillsides were used for artillery training, which shaped the site's military operations for many years.
The buildings throughout the district show military architecture from the early 1900s, with Bungalow and Craftsman style features visible in their design. These structures shape how the place looks and feels today.
The grounds are now used by a correctional facility, police academy, and emergency operations center, which means public access is limited. Before visiting, check what areas you can actually see or if tours are available.
The Department of Defense conducts ongoing investigations to identify unexploded ordnance left from past training exercises. These hidden remnants from military operations continue to affect how the site is managed today.
