About
National Forest
Roosevelt National Forest
Comanche Peak Wilderness, named for its prominent 12,702 foot peak, was added to the National Wilderness Preservation System by the United States Congress in 1980. Elevations within the Comanche Peak Wilderness range from 8,000 to 12,702 feet.
Located within the Roosevelt National Forest, this 66,791 acre wilderness area features lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine and spruce-fir forests below expanses of alpine tundra. Many scenic trails provide access to the area that borders the north and east sides of Rocky Mountain National Park.
Camping and campfires are prohibited within 200’ feet (or more if posted) of all lakes, streams and trails to protect water quality, sensitive vegetation and to help assure solitude. Thin soils and mountain vegetation are easily damaged by fire and fires scar rocks and soil. Use a stove, a fire pan or an existing fire ring when and where fires are allowed.

It's a beautiful place and gives many options.
Quiet!
I arrived on a Saturday morning and only two other spots were taken. It was a beautiful area although there isn't a ton to do there. There are large fields on one side with herds of cows and a view off of the other side. A great place to go when everywhere else is busy!

Solitude and views!
Spent one night here mid-September 2021 and utterly loved it. Stayed on the west side of the "campground" (not a campground at all -- just a collection of primitive/dispersed campsites with no services) at the very end of the road. The sites were very far apart and we hardly heard or saw anyone during our stay. We stayed in a lovely, large, treed area with rock formations on one side and beautiful meadow views on the other.
It was hunting season and we did hear a few shots in the distance now and then, but we were in a "no shooting" area and it did not disturb us.
