Newbie warning! underdeveloped opinions

First solo campervan night and ended up here coming from Denver. Easy access, felt safe and was quiet. Good accessible option for altitude as it was snowing further up the pass at the time.

Basic Dispersed campsites

Plenty of room for large and small campsites. Pull off areas right next to the dirt road mainly. Not a ton of trash which is awesome!!

Easy roadside camping

Nothing spectacular, quite a few spots along the road and a nice view of winterpark down below. We only stopped for a night, it was a Friday so fairly busy.

This place was a disappointment. The previous reviewer stated that there are a lot of dispersed sites, but I counted less than 10 and all of the good ones were taken on a weekday. It seems like the locals and tourists love this spot, but it is way too small. I went towards the end where it seemed there were several RVs who seemed to have made it their permanent establishment with picnic tables, fully furnished patio equipment and weird looks to go with it.

Nevertheless I chose not to stay here and drove up to Vasquez where I had complete privacy and a large area all to myself.

Plenty of dispersed sites

Right off the highway near Winter Park, this forest service access point has several campgrounds along the road. Fairly quiet, well-trafficked, you can put your RV, trailer, or tent up for the night in any spot you find suitable. Honestly a great under the radar spot.
