Kirby Gulch

There was about 36 spots on a Friday morning (@1000am), was lucky to grab a spot that had a pull through and the spot was beautiful. We were lucky enough to find some leftover firewood when we got here and we were close enough to the river. The two major problems are the flys that will not leave the dogs alone and the constant cars that come through since the camping spots are so close to the road. Lots of campsites had spots saved 👎🏻 (if your friends wanna come up, tell them to get there on time 😒) other than that, great site, close access to shelf lake trail, which was beautiful and absolutely worth it.

Went out this past weekend, we stayed at site 26. It was a good spot, a lot of good hiking and other fun things to do. Went up the 4x4 trail up to the salt mine at the top. If you have a vehicle with 4wd You should be fine. Around camp was decently busy with traffic and got somewhat dusty. But still a fun place to go

We were able to get a site further back from the entrance, so traffic was to a minimum. There was occasional cars and OHVs back to some of the trailheads, but otherwise we were pretty much by ourselves!

It did get pretty cool at night, and our kids definitely let us know about it. Luckily we have extra blankets to insulate their bags and another person in our party had a small heater. But even in July, plan for cooler night time temps and rain!

Great spot, not crowded. Some OHV,s but not too much. We plan to go back for sure.

Sites are all designated. You can’t come for the 1st mile along the road. Once you get past Geneva, campground and head up the small hill the sites appear on each side of the road. The ones on the left have the opportunity to be on the creek. The ones on the right are more sheltered and probably better for tents. Sites 25,26 and 27 appear to be good and site number 31 may be on the creek. It’s exposed but it’s big but it might be on the creek. The road to get in there is pretty gnarly. Definitely need four-wheel-drive. Lots of rocks and deep holes and even some flooded areas. It looks to be about 34 sites which is when we turned back there may be even more.

Amazing dispersed camping, private. We brought our dogs and they enjoyed themselves. Very accessible- second weekend in august and was perfect! Around 55 degrees at night, 10,000ft elevation.

Brought my dog here in July and we had a nice time. Found a spot Friday around 11, most had filled up. I made it up the road to the gate in my Subaru forester but it was rough!

the road gets a little rougher as you go down, but this keeps a lot of folks away which means I've always been able to find a spot. The very far end of the road crosses a river which is impassable during peak snowmelt season but a few more spots open up once the water levels go down
