Best Spot in CO - 4x4 CR 16

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

A sign posted at the turnoff warns that the area is Ouray County private land with no camping permitted, and that violators will be reported to the Sheriff. That detail alone makes this listing worth approaching with caution. The site is listed as dispersed, free camping within Uncompahgre National Forest, but access status on the ground appears to conflict with what the listing suggests. Verify land boundaries before driving out, and consider confirmed alternatives such as Portland Road Dispersed nearby.
