Great remote BLM campsite.

Only a couple miles from downtown Buena Vista, CO. Easily accessible with two wheel drive vehicle. Pit toilets in center of sites. Picnic tables and fire rings at each site. Incredibly peaceful. Incredible natural rock landscapes. Speedtest.net showed 10meg down and 1k up, Android Verizon. There are public showers and toilets available in BV at the rec center. BV (Buena Vista) is the whitewater rafting hub for the Arkansas River. Snowed three inches just after my arrival (early May). Beautiful..!!

Great find

This BLM campground has free sites and pit toilets that are kept clean. It’s a great location above Buena Vista and great views. FCFS but people moved in and out daily.

Last year for free camping here!

This place was very much like a reservable campground but without water or electricity. It’s technically on BLM land so it’s free this year but that’s changing starting next year. This campground is open till December 1st! The reception for my Verizon phone was only 1 or 2 bars and when my fellow camp set left on Sunday, I have SOS no service. The camp host was so strict on parking it borderline harassment. The sites offered beautiful views, the sky was great for stargazing, and sites were spacious. There are picnic tables, fire pits with grills attached, and 2 vault toilets.
