Allenspark Dispersed Camping
Allenspark Dispersed Camping, near Estes Park, Colorado, is a fantastic location for those looking to immerse themselves in nature without the frills of traditional campgrounds. With sites nestled along a picturesque creek, you can enjoy the soothing sounds of water while soaking in the stunning mountain views.
This area is known for its relaxed vibe, where campfires are allowed, and pets are welcome, making it a great choice for families and furry friends alike. Visitors have raved about the beauty of the surroundings, with one camper noting, “The sound of the creek made you fall right asleep!” Just keep in mind that amenities are minimal—there's no drinking water or toilets, so come prepared.
Accessing the camping spots can be a bit tricky, as you’ll wind through a neighborhood before reaching the more rugged areas. Some campers have mentioned that the road can be rocky, but most vehicles, including SUVs, can make it with a little care. If you're up for a little adventure, this location offers a true escape into the wild.
While the area is popular, many have successfully found their own slice of paradise. Just remember to secure your food, as bears are known to roam around. With its beautiful setting and proximity to hiking trails, Allenspark Dispersed Camping is a great choice for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors.

Camping is limited to 14 consecutive days in one location. After 14 days, the campsite must be moved a minimum of three miles. Camping can then continue for another 14 days. Camping is restricted to 28 days in any 60-day period. Some areas may require the use of designated campsites, and some areas, such as Indian Peaks Wilderness, require camping permits.
