Lost Park Road Dispersed Camping

2 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Pike National Forest manages this dispersed area along Lost Park Road, well removed from Highway 285 and the Denver metro. Drive-in and walk-in access both work here. Campfires are permitted, pets are welcome, and the site has no developed amenities to speak of. Rolling terrain opens toward western skies, making sunset-facing sites worth seeking out. Campers exploring the area can also find campgrounds near Shawnee or head east to Lost Park Campground for a developed alternative.
