San Juan National Forest manages this free dispersed site along Spruce Mill Road, where campers can set up directly beneath a rock formation. The access road starts as gravel off Highway 191 but transitions to rocky, sandy terrain in the final stretch. No facilities are on-site. A 4x4 vehicle is required, and the road may become impassable in wet conditions, so dry-weather timing matters. Campers interested in free camping near San Juan National Forest will find several options in this corridor, including Transfer Campground roughly 1.5 miles away.
Description
Dispersed camping is a great way to enjoy the experience of camping away from developed campgrounds. Keep in mind, there are no picnic tables, drinking water, or toilets available.
