Hike-in access is the only way to reach Missouri Lake, a dispersed camping area set within White River National Forest above Red Cliff, Colorado. The approach involves a moderately difficult climb, and campers report the site is notably secluded once you arrive. Fishing, swimming, and hiking trails are available at the lake. Campfires are permitted, and cost varies. Those exploring primitive camping near White River National Forest will find this one of the more remote options in the corridor.
