About
Bureau of Land Management
NOTE: Campers who build any fires face fines up to $5,000 and/or up to six months imprisonment for open fire violations.
Leave No Trace must be observed, as in any outdoor space.
In any season this area is prone to very strong dry winds that can pick up a hot coal from a campfire that has lain dormant for as much as three days and ignite dry vegetation, causing horrific devastation. People from outside Colorado may not understand how tinder dry this area can be. 197 homes in this area have been destroyed by wildfires. All of these fires were started by humans.
Local residents overlook this area and if they see visible flame or smoke they will call the Boulder County sheriff. Any campers who require a campfire are recommended to disperse camp near Sugarloaf Mountain where fires are permitted.

ScoutNice camping areas, but be warned off lady with off-leash dog!
Loved the camp area, so close to climbing. Also loved the people in the area! We met so many amazing and kind people! It is gorgeous, and the road is really good up to the parking lot. Our ford focus hatchback managed just fine. That being said, there is a lady who regularly loses control of her off leash dog and makes no attempt to catch him. I would suggest being cautious with your pets around here.
TravelerGood location but have to walk to best sites
There is a car park just south of the location marker on the dyrt, there are some campsites very close to this, one of which we used. They are still fairly private but the best are likely deeper down into the canyon. We were able to access this in a Toyota Corolla although there was a fairly deep "ditch" to cross when entering the car park.
ScoutNice spot with great views
This camping spot is about a 30 minute drive from Central Boulder. I’m seeing a lot of reviews about the spot saying its not an actual campsite, but I had no trouble finding the campsites. I parked in the Dream canyon parking lot and followed the trail by the large sign near the entrance. While this spot is by some residential land, if you go down the trail enough it’s not a problem.
