Hoosier Pass Dispersed Camping

Decent amount of sites, really convenient from highway and pretty well located to get to DeCaLiBron, Quandry, Breckenridge etc. Road gets pretty rough pretty quick, there’s only like a 3 of the sites I’d consider accessible with a low clearance vehicle.

After turning in past the parking lot, several spots are available on the left and right. Some more level than others, but each lovely. Glad we found it.

This was easy to find. I arrived around 4:00 in the afternoon on a Friday and there were still a few sites available. There is open space and trees if you’re looking to not have your tent get too wet from any rain - I came in July, monsoon season. This is next to lots of trails, so hikers walk by in the morning — not sure about afternoon as I left around 9 the next morning. I’d say any all wheel drive vehicle can make it to these sites. They aren’t far off the turn off from the highway. I have a Bronco Outer Banks, but I wouldn’t need this type of vehicle getting up the road, just AWD. There are lots of rocks everywhere, and people have built lots of fire pits to use. I decided to have a little fun and build one myself. If it’s still standing and you happen to stay at the site I set up camp, it was built for you and all the future campers!

We stayed here on a Saturday after failing to find sites closer to Breck. There are probably 7 or 8 sites spread throughout this little area. Very nice, quiet space.

This place was okay. The road was okay but I didnt go up to far. There are 3 spots right as you go in that offer very fast access to a site. You get alot of road noise and people stopping at the trail head. A little verizon signal but not great. No views. Its also very high altitude like over 11k feet so if you haven't adjusted to elevation I would not recommend this as a first stop

We stayed one Saturday on Hoosier and we were able to find a spot. Not super private and lots of off leash dogs but beautiful walking trails!

Wonderful spots for camping off the road. Traffic noise is minimal as lots of trees and at night so peaceful. Directions say you have to walk to site but that’s false. All spots are drive up that I found. Roughly 6-7 spots and maybe more if you continue on the road up the mountain

As of 6/9/24 there are 3 spots accessible with 2wd. Up the road high clearance 4x4 is needed due to snow and washout. Pretty spot otherwise. You could possibly set up starlink as the tree coverage is not completely full.

Looked amazing online but road still closed

I needed a campsite close to FairPlay and prefer dispersed over paying to camp, so I was very thankful to find Hoosier Pass dispersed campground through the Dyrt! TBH I was a little creeped out just by how heavily wooded the area is and I was the only one camping there, however a site across the road from me had a toilet tent setup still with no one there. I moved my ring of rocks away from the trees before starting a campfire. The road was a bit rough so I was glad to have high clearance. The hikers coming through really enjoy the view at the top of the hill. Closed in winter for vehicles but open then for snowmobiles and snowshoeing.

Great little spot right off the highway for an evening of camping, or longer. There is a bit of foot traffic with hikers coming in but still really peaceful. It says 2WD not recommended but I think you could make it up to first few spots or just park in the parking lot and walk up if you’re tent camping. Beautiful tree covered spots with fire rings in place. We pulled in on Wed evening and there were many spots available. We were 8-10 spots down the road. We towed our little 25ft RV up the road and it was pretty low key except for one slight washout. You can see us coming down it in the video I posted. I left my huffing and puffing and “oh sh*ts” in for your amusement. 😂
