Deadman’s Rd

1 ReviewAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Hiking and biking trails run through this dispersed camping area in Roosevelt National Forest, where fire damage has left a patchy mix of standing conifers and downed timber across the landscape. Road noise carries through during daylight hours. The area draws a range of camping styles, from car-tent setups to hardtop trailers and off-road rigs, with designated sites spread across varied terrain that includes some heavily rutted sections. Campers exploring camping areas near Red Feather Lakes will find this a workable base, though the access road conditions warrant a high-clearance vehicle. Cell service is available. Summer daytime temps can reach the mid-to-upper 80s, dropping into the 30s overnight, so layers are worth packing even in June.

Very windy but decent

There was quite a bit of road noise during the day. The area is pretty patchy from fire damage with a lot of downed trees and debris, also some severe rut areas. The designated areas do have quite a variety, and I did see some Subaru car tent campers, some classic hardtop trailers and obviously some off-roaders camping. Temp was mid-high 80s down to high 50s during the day, and low 50s down into 30s in the evening.
