Nice quiet spot on the creek

Around 10 spots. Have neighbors, but pretty private and spread out. Right on the creek for a nice ambient noise while sleeping. Need high clearence. 4x4 is good to have.

Stunning, Quiet

Absolutely stunning remote area at the base of the Mt. Sneffels wilderness. There were a couple of folks at some sites but everyone’s spread out with plenty of room. The road starts out pretty easy, your typical gravel/dirt road but once you cross into the national forest you WILL need a high clearance 4WD vehicle. The road is very narrow with a steep drop off on one side, spots with larger rocks and ruts. Shouldn’t have a problem with a 4Runner or similar, but use more/extreme caution with something like a Subaru. Beautiful spot.

Frequently Asked Questions

What facilities are available at Box Factory Park?

Box Factory Park is a primitive camping area with minimal facilities. Located at the base of the Mt. Sneffels wilderness, the main amenity is its natural setting alongside a creek that provides pleasant ambient noise while camping. The park doesn't offer developed facilities like restrooms, running water, or electrical hookups. The remote nature of this location means you should come fully prepared with all necessary supplies including water, food, and waste disposal options.

How do I get to Box Factory Park?

Access to Box Factory Park requires careful planning and the right vehicle. The road begins as a typical gravel/dirt road but becomes significantly more challenging once you enter the national forest boundary. High clearance is absolutely necessary, and 4x4 is highly recommended. The rugged access helps keep the area relatively uncrowded despite its beauty. Be prepared for rough terrain and confirm current road conditions before attempting the drive, especially during or after wet weather when conditions may worsen.

Are there camping spots available at Box Factory Park?

Yes, Box Factory Park offers approximately 10 camping spots. The sites are nicely spread out, providing good privacy despite having neighbors nearby. Each spot offers a remote wilderness camping experience at the base of Mt. Sneffels. The campsites are situated along a creek, which creates a peaceful soundscape for sleeping. The area has a truly stunning remote feel while still providing defined areas for camping.
