Off-road enthusiasts will find Eureka Campground positioned along a rough mountain road in Colorado's San Juan Mountains. This dispersed camping area sits at high elevation outside Silverton, requiring a vehicle capable of handling challenging terrain to reach the sites.
The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no reservations or developed amenities. Campers must bring their own water and pack out all waste. Maggie Gultch provides another dispersed option further south for those seeking different terrain access.
