My 1st dispersed campsite and I loved it!

This is a huge area for campers to enjoy! The drive in was a little rough due to washboard roads, but then it turned into pavement after the 1st mile...not great but better than the dirt road. I have a cell phone extender (Travlfi) and TMobile hotspot, which worked well. I did not need a 4 x 4 to get in here. My 2WD truck and 22 ft camper did just fine! What a great time!

Ground was very hard, worth considering if you use a tent

Was a fine campsite, people were driving past in the night but most annoyingly the ground could only have been harder if it was literal rock! It took 30mins at least to put in the 6 pegs I need for my tent. If I had a car/RV to sleep in or perhaps visited in a different season I'd have rated it 4/5.

Busy but free for now.

Stayed for week and a half. Was quiet during the week but got busy during the weekend. It's mainly for mountain bike riding and dirt bikes.

Sitedispersed area.

Best Spot in Fruita

I’ve been coming to 18 road for years, but this is the first year with a camper (19 feet). Very spaced out, easy to get away from others if you want peace, right by excellent mountain biking, and pretty close to town. With a cell service extender and a hotspot both my partner and I were able to work remotely from here.

Free Dispersed camping #174 road

This area is likely the last free dispersed camping area adjacent to the new Lower North Fruita Desert developed campground. However, as the developed CG expands down to main road, this area could be signed "no camping" anytime in future. As of May 2022 this area was very popular since the Upper and Lower BLM CGs had gone all reservation. Nice views, but no water, or any amenities. No trash dumpsters, even in the developed CGs. Cell signal is good for Verizon and TMobile. Only three stars as not very scenic here, absolutely NO shade, no trees and motorized use crowd base here also with the noise of motorcycles ect.
