Lots of Free & Secluded Camping
I was at higher elevations near the Crystal Creek Reservoir, had imminent bad weather approaching and wanted to find somewhere free I could set up camp in a hurry. As daylight was fading, I was in a dash to get to lower elevation at Colorado Springs and encountered this area on my way there. A long loose gravel road will take you miles more than I wanted to travel, that's why I pulled off at one of the earlier sites. This location was secluded, with fewer than 5 vehicles traversing past my location during my 18 hour stay on Wednesday the 4th; of March 2021. Pulling off behind the trees I found two areas where fires were made, and decided to camp in the middle. Found numerous rounds of lead ammo that was fired off previously, I wanted to shoot off my own but looked up the rules and it is forbidden to fire off rounds for target practice in this area due to noise restrictions. There is no bathroom or running water. I currently have full service (AT&T) and a full belly being able to finally start a fire and cook something warm to eat. Hopefully tomorrow does not snow, but there is wintry weather in the forecast. Luckily I am camping next to my vehicle so if shit hit the fan I can just jump in there to get warm. I did see some human excrement near a tree where I was urinating, it would be nice if you would bury your shit. Other than that I would stay again in a heartbeat to save money from a shithotel.
