Dispersed camping outside of Crested Butte
This area is stunning, there are tons of dispersed campsites along the gravel road. I have seen some smaller cars make it to some of the spots, but 4 wheel drive is definitely recommended for the sites further out. Lots of creeks, small mountain lakes, snow capped mountains, hiking trails, valleys filled with wildflowers, what more do you need? Sites are made for tent camping, just a clearing and a fire pit. Water access is easy. Be mindful of bears in the area, store food and garbage.
