Description
Free camping (dispersed) is allowed on most national forest lands except in highly developed areas - such as trailheads, campgrounds and picnic sites - and in some of our most visited places. Be sure to check for regulations in advance and look for signs in the area to indicate if camping is allowed.
Some areas allow camping in designated sites only. Find detailed map here: https://store.avenza.com/products/roosevelt-nf-boulder-ranger-district-south-half-mvum-us-forest-service-r2-rocky-mountain-region-map
