Dispersed Camping - Pike National Forest Divide

6 Reviews

Dispersed Camping - Pike National Forest Divide, near Colorado Springs, Colorado, is a fantastic spot for those who crave a bit of solitude and stunning views. This area offers numerous camping spots, each with its own unique charm, making it a great choice for tent campers looking to escape the hustle and bustle.

Visitors rave about the breathtaking 360-degree views, especially of Pikes Peak, which are simply unbeatable. The sites are spaced out nicely, so you won’t feel cramped, and many campers have enjoyed sightings of local wildlife like moose and deer right at their campsites. As one camper noted, “Each spot is far away from another,” ensuring a peaceful experience.

The access road can get a bit rough, but it’s manageable for most vehicles, and you’ll find plenty of rock fire pits to gather around in the evenings. Campers have mentioned that while there are dirt bikes and ATVs in the area, they don’t detract from the overall experience. Plus, you can enjoy the thrill of off-roading if that’s your thing.

If you’re looking to explore, there are plenty of trails nearby, perfect for hiking or riding. And don’t worry about being completely cut off from the world; some spots even have cell service. Whether you’re here for a weekend or a longer stay, this location offers a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.

Beautiful Spots

Wanted to stay for two nights but only did two days, because a mountain lion tore a deer to shreds about a day or two prior to my arrival by my campsite and i was spooked. Had two dogs but had an eerie feeling and left early but it was gorgeous. Loads of OHVs tho

Great spots along ATV trail

Tons of level, large spots. Road is meant for ATV use, and was a fair amount of traffic throughout the day but tolerable. Hardly any at night. Restrooms at base of road. Found our spot 2.5 miles up the road, definitely needed AWD.

Remote and beautiful

Lots of camping spots and fairly easy access. The road gets rougher the further you go in but no problem for a 4x4. Even a small car could get to some nice sites. If you don’t mind all the motorized vehicles (side by sides and bikes) it’s a great place with nice views to camp and enjoy.

Great views, secluded spots

This dispersed camp site has numerous spots with rock fire pits. There are a lot of dirt bikes and atvs driving during the day however I didn’t find it overly disruptive. The dirt road to get there can be tricky, but I witnessed multiple sedans driving by without issue. We had a moose and deer at our campsite during the mornings so I suggest being weary of wildlife.

Lots of places to walk and explore and there was still phone signal! Each spot is far away from another, especially if you drive further down. We didn’t hear anyone late into the night due to the distance.

Secluded camping with breathtaking views

If you like dispersed camping with 360 views this is the place for you. This was our second time dispersed camping and off-roading here. Depending on which site you pick, you can get amazing views of Pikes Peak. The higher up you go, the more confident of a driver you will want to be as it can be tricky especially with trailers/campers. It’s fun to watch other ITV’s and dirt bikes drive past occasionally, but not enough to be annoying. Lots of dead/fallen trees for firewood. Many spots to choose from. Just look for spots with rock fire pits. Plus was we got cell service at our spot this time. It just depends how high up you are and what side of the mountain.
