Lizard Head Pass Dispersed Camping
Lizard Head Pass Dispersed Camping, near Ophir, Colorado, is a straightforward spot for those looking to escape into nature without the frills. This area offers a no-cost camping experience with stunning mountain views, making it a solid choice for tent and RV campers alike.
The location is known for its open grassy areas surrounded by trees, providing a bit of privacy while still being close to the highway. Visitors have mentioned the convenience of having a vault toilet across the road at the trailhead, which is a nice perk given the lack of facilities on-site. Fire rings made of stacked rocks mark the camping spots, allowing for cozy evenings under the stars.
If you're up for some adventure, the nearby Galloping Goose Trailhead offers great hiking opportunities, and the scenery is nothing short of breathtaking. Just be aware that the access road can be a bit rough, so a high-clearance vehicle is recommended. Campers have noted that while the area can get crowded on weekends, there are still plenty of spots to find your own little slice of peace.
Whether you're passing through or planning a longer stay, Lizard Head Pass is a solid option for those who appreciate the beauty of the outdoors without the hassle of reservations or fees.
