Creede, CO Overlook

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

Sitting above the town of Creede on an exposed ridgeline, this dispersed area draws a surprisingly heavy mix of large RVs, fifth wheels, and class A coaches, many of them staying the full 14-day limit. Sites fill fast. The dirt road steepens as it climbs, though reviewers report two-wheel-drive vehicles reaching the top with care. Verizon users can expect around two bars of signal. Campfires are permitted, and OHV traffic passes through regularly. Tent campers without a windbreak may find the exposure to monsoon-season gusts a real consideration. Those wanting more shelter can explore places to camp near City of Creede, including options like Bachelor Road Dispersed — Rio Grande NF near Creede with tree cover just minutes away.

Great views but incredibly busy!

You may struggle to find a site here since it seems people go to extremes to get their coaches and RVs up here and tend to stay for the 14 day limits.

I’m in a rooftop tent and while the views are gorgeous the exposure to wind can be unsettling in the monsoon rains. Non motorized tent campers may want to look at nearby sites with some break and cover still only 5-10 mins from town.

When i say busy, i mean it. Big coaches and rvs everywhere! With a smattering of vans.

The dirt road beyond the top keeps going but there are no sites and beyond and signs marking areas are closed (for rehab i presume)

Get your camera out, this is picture perfect

The farther you go, the steeper some of the hills get. I saw a large 5th wheel and a class A near the beginning. The last spot occupied was a capable Toyota 4Runner. Our 2-wheel drive made it to the top of the bald. 2bar for Verizon. I can see a cell tower across the valley, which must be T-Mobile, or I would have a stronger signal. Very short drive into town. Depending on your fitness level, an hour hike into town and back up. We had OHV vehicles drive by. The older the driver, the more they slowed down;) To avoid kicking up dust.
