About
National Forest
Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland
Free camping (dispersed) is allowed on most national forest lands except in highly developed areas - such as trailheads, campgrounds and picnic sites - and in some of our most visited places. Be sure to check for regulations in advance and look for signs in the area to indicate if camping is allowed.
Some areas allow camping in designated sites only.
Know Before You Go
Check the weather and road closures before heading up. Follow Leave No Trace principles. There are no facilities or trash receptacles. Pack out what you pack in. Make sure camping is allowed. Many lands within the national forest boundary are private or otherwise owned. Check that you’re on National Forest lands: maps. Don't stay too long. Camping is limited to 14 days within any continuous 30-day period at any location within the same 20-mile radius. See Order Plan on building a campfire? Campfire restrictions can occur any time of year. Check for fire restrictions and if you build a campfire, know how to extinguish it.

TravelerGreat firepits
Road was steep at points and loose dirt but no big rocks. 4wd was just fine. Might be tuff with just 2wd. There was nobody here. I think people live further down the road so we saw maybe 3 cars go by but not campers I don’t think. View was awesome thru the trees.
TravelerWorse than you think it is.
The view from our campsite was stunning! The road to get there was BAD!!!

ScoutLoved it!
The area was super beautiful. If you have a good vehicle (4WD), it’s super accessible and visitor friendly. It gets worse the further you go up. There was 3 or 4 different site areas. You’ll probably see people during the day, but still have lots of privacy. Would go again!
