Cr 47
CR 47, near Lyons, Colorado, is a unique camping area that offers a mix of natural beauty and a bit of adventure. It's a free location where you can pitch a tent or park your RV, but be prepared for a primitive experience—there are no facilities like water or toilets, so come ready to rough it.
The area is popular among mountain bikers and hikers, with trails nearby that lead to stunning views. Some visitors have enjoyed camping under rock overhangs, which provide a cozy spot to stargaze at night. However, keep in mind that the road can get busy with traffic, including dirt bikers and ATVs, so expect some noise during peak times.
While the scenery is beautiful, it’s essential to be aware of the local regulations. There are signs indicating no camping in certain areas, and some campers have reported challenges finding suitable spots without running into private property. If you’re looking for a quiet escape, consider heading a bit further down the road where it opens up to more options. Just remember to pack out what you pack in, as some visitors have noted litter in the area.
