Beautiful find!
We found this place by accident. We have a big camper and the hosts were the best, helped us into our site, and checked on us for the two nights we were there.
High Clarence vehicle needed
I agree with all of Travis T review... I think there is also another “North Fork Colorado” camp site listing which may confuse folks ... or maybe just me. Lol This is up near Billings lake which is a further drive down the heavily rocky path. Campsites were spread out, dear spotted often on my grounds, fire pits were good to go... high on the mountain was a windy campsite, deeper down toward the river and nestled in the trees was not bad wind wise. Private since camps spread out, lots of mosquito, gorgeous views, accessible small lakes for easy fishing, 1 or 2 other people there when I went. Someone had some UTVs and another rode in on a 4whlr but it was not like rampart range. Bathroom was not over used. Great all the way around. Bumpy rough ride up tho,,, would be hard on a front wheel or small car that is not 4wheel. Went mid July 2021

One of my favorites
Great 4x4 trail with a ton of dispersed sites along the way with the bigger north fork at the end. Lots of great fishing lakes in the area. North fork is beautiful.
