good location and nice views. close to rampart reservoir.

nice views

Only 18 minutes from Woodland Park, but you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. Tucked back in National Forest land. 

Stunning Views of Pikes Peak

Rampart Range Road is the main dirt road that has plenty of smaller trails branching off of it to keep you busy exploring all summer. Rampart Range Road is accessible by 2wd vehicles while some of the smaller trails that branch off of Rampart Range Rd do better with a 4wd with high clearance. The southern portion of the road (south of Devils Head Trail) is open year around while the northern half of the road is closed seasonally during winter. Easily accessible outside of Woodland Park on the south end of the road and west through Sedalia. Lots of dispersed camping sites along the road, some are very large and could easily accommodate a large RV or large groups. Other campsites are tucked away off the road a little which is great because this road can be very busy &amp; dusty in the summer. All in all, this place makes for a fun and easy weekend getaway as long as some ohv traffic doesn’t bother you too much. The best part of Rampart Range Road is the several forest service roads that branch off with dispersed camping.  These smaller trails and dispersed camping make for a much more relaxing and peaceful weekend, I highly recommend if you have a 4x4. Find the right forest service road and you’ll feel like you are a million miles from it all.

Free area, lots of dispersed camping areas, but the main roads in is scored with ripples the whole way so it's gonna take a toll on your suspension. Definitely lots of wind up here both at night and in the day. Cell service works well out in the open. Great view of pike's peak. 

Beautiful place to camp

We arrived early on a Saturday and there were quite a few people already around and two spots available. Unfortunately there was trash everywhere and after we set up I went around to clean some up. I went through 25% of our area and collected two full grocery bags worth of garbage and there was still more around. The views were nice and there were a lot of birds around but some spaces were pretty close to other campsites. 

Pretty alright

There are so many nice site with great views. Some have fire rings. Great free sites but so bumpy roads to get there. 

Beautiful views but becoming trashed

Pretty high up the mountain for an ex smoker but I didn't die, somehow. Bears and cats abound.  I heard a cat bigger than the one that I had with me screaming his/her lungs out before sunrise.  The area is beautiful and wild with an expansive tree canopy.  I didn't take pictures because you can't see anything due to the forest.  There are tree trunks and limbs around each campsite which are pull ins just off the road, so don't bring firewood, bring an axe.  I saw a tent ripped to shreds and the campsite ransacked which was likely bears.  Bring bear mace.  If you make noise around the campsite and bear proof your comestibles you will be fine.  Remember, if you see a bear it means you both screwed up, the difference being a bear having a panic attack is deadly.  Campers, I have to request a favor:. Bring a big trash bag and haul away more trash than you bring.  A few months of this can make this a pristine place to visit.  I enjoyed it immensely.

Beautiful, wild, 9300' elevation.

Not enough camping spots. Incontinent parking for trailers

Too many people

Washboard dirt road after paved. Be patient and go slow. It is well worth it.  Passable by 2 wheel drive.

Indescribable views!

Great spots on the cliff side. Has cell service for Verizon. 

Great to just get out and live

Loved our stay here. It was so peaceful and the views were breathtaking. Definitely going to stay again! 

We will be back!

Perfect views with good solitude. Came with a few friends and had a blast. It’s cold up here!


Great solitude

This place has some nice views if you can get a good spot. We got there on a Thursday afternoon and there were still only a few hood spots open. By Friday afternoon/evening it seemed like at the existing spots were filled. Spots are decently well spaced so that we didn’t feel crowded or intruded upon, but lacked the isolation I usually try to find.  I can’t speak for all the sites, but ours only had one good flat spot for a tent, luckily our friends had a small camping trailer that could be leveled for the sloped spot. 

Nice views  

Loved being here. In the process of getting an apartment so this spot was perfect for the wait 

BEAUTIFUL SPOT

Pretty great dispersed site. Beautiful sun sets. I had great phone service. There are three campsites running along three different fingers. The second one has a portable bathroom. I talked to some locals who said grabbing deadfall was fine for fire wood. Quick 20 minute drive to get back into town for supplies. No water sources so you’ll have to pack out water. All the fire pits are hand build and being on the finger you’re pretty exposed to the wind keeping the fires small and not very hot. Most of the sites are not flat. If you enjoy camping with little amenities you’ll like this site ￼

Great site 

Ended up a parking lot by the end of the night. Too busy with inconsiderate neighbors. Beautiful views though. I think it’s luck of the draw depending what night you go. 

Great view, zero solitude

Great spot great views. We stayed there 4 days through every type of weather imaginable. Look out when the sky clears the views are amazing . The road in is a bit rough but quite manageable.  2025.06.01

Great spot great views

The road in is gravel and pretty choppy, but the weather was good and my car made it fine but I was going like 5 mph. If the weather wasn’t good you would probably need 4x4. Lots of firewood around. I was here on a weekend and Saturday night it was pretty full and there was some trash around but nothing crazy. 

Beautiful views of Pikes Peak  

Nice spot to pull up and Park. Any vehicle can access it. Extremely packed on weekends... on weekdays multiple spots avaliable.
