    Comanche National Grassland Withers Canyon Trailhead Campground

    Serene

    This campground is NOT accessible by vehicle if the road is wet.. There are four designated sites, three overlook the canyon and one is intended for those with horses. There is a vault toilet. This campground is at the Picket Wire Canyonlands trailhead, which boasts the largest dinosaur track site in North America. Each campsite has a fire ring, but keep in mind the canyon is subject to burn bans. It is very rocky, so if your tent is on the ground you would probably be happier with some kind of padding. The vault toilet was the cleanest I have ever encountered. The sites are first come first serve. Keep in mind, there was a lot of parking available, so it is possible overflow camping may not be frowned upon so long as you stay in the parking areas.

    Comanche National Grassland Withers Canyon Trailhead Campground

    Off the beaten path and beautiful.

    We boondocked with the kiddos in a travel trailer. Saw two other cars, two people, and one other campsite was occupied. There are 4 numbered campsites, and an overfill pull off with a fire ring just before the campground on the left that may or may not supposed to be there. April weather is great, we came here for some reprieve from our mountain winter and were not disappointed. Even in April, bring plenty of water, it’s easy to dehydrate here. The canyons and rock formations are beautiful. Campsite 1 has great rocks right behind it, fun for the kids to play on but more exposed to winds. Campsite two is better for tent camping and has a cool sand pit. Campsite 3 is flat and great for a trailer or RV, and right by the toilet (where we stayed), and campsite 4 is a short walk to some fun terrain.

    Comanche National Grassland Withers Canyon Trailhead Campground

    Awesome dispersed camping!

    This is a great dispersed camping location. It was a little hard to find, but following the directions on here got me there okay. I’d be nervous if I didn’t four wheel drive. 4 first come first serve campsites.

    The hike down the canyon was difficult but it was definitely worth it to see the dinosaur tracks. Be careful of the extreme heat and lack of shade.

    I wouldn’t come here in the summer but I would recommend it to a friend for a late spring trip.

    Comanche National Grassland Withers Canyon Trailhead Campground

    Very secluded

    Great camping experience overall. Bathrooms were clean but the toilet paper isn’t kept up with so make sure you bring some. And dehydration is very real out there, take water. There is no pump. Only 3 dedicated camping spots, with a fire pit. Bugs were bad when we went, LOTS of gnats. But it was quiet and peaceful, beautiful weather too. Lots of exploring opportunities and hiking. If you follow the main trail about a mile, you’ll see an old homestead which was really neat. We went on Sunday at noon and had our pick of the three spots as all three were packing up to leave, but if you go on a Friday afternoon or Saturday, you may not get a spot. FCFS.

    Last minute

    We were traveling through and needed a place to crash for the night so we decided to stop in for the night... Was a great family friendly environment and pet friendly... Would recommend them without hesitation... I look forward to camping there more in the future myself...

    Quiet spot right on the trailhead

    Secluded area with a pretty clean bathroom. The road is a washboard for a couple miles but worth it.


Guide to Hasty

Equestrian camping near Hasty, Colorado provides access to the Comanche National Grassland, which encompasses over 440,000 acres of shortgrass prairie at elevations ranging from 3,500 to 5,400 feet. The area experiences significant temperature fluctuations with summer highs regularly exceeding 100°F and winter temperatures dropping below freezing. Roads accessing many camping areas consist of unpaved dirt tracks that become impassable during wet conditions.

What to do

Dinosaur track viewing: The Picketwire Canyonlands trail leads to North America's largest dinosaur track site. "The hike down the canyon was difficult but it was definitely worth it to see the dinosaur tracks. Be careful of the extreme heat and lack of shade," notes Miles W. about Comanche National Grassland Withers Canyon Trailhead Campground.

Historical exploration: Several historical sites exist within riding distance of camping areas. "If you follow the main trail about a mile, you'll see an old homestead which was really neat," reports Serena L. The area contains numerous archaeological sites documenting both Native American and early settler presence.

Tarantula migration viewing: Fall brings a unique natural phenomenon to the grasslands. "We tent camped here for the tarantula migration. Sites were full by Thursday. Quiet campground with views for days," shares MarySusan C. about her September visit. The migration typically occurs from late September through early October when male tarantulas search for mates.

What campers like

Seclusion and privacy: The remote nature of camping areas provides exceptional solitude. "We boondocked with the kiddos in a travel trailer. Saw two other cars, two people, and one other campsite was occupied," writes Andrew J. about his experience at Picketwire Canyon.

Clean facilities: Despite the primitive setting, visitors frequently comment on maintenance standards. "The vault toilet was the cleanest I have ever encountered," notes Vanessa M. about facilities at the trailhead campground. The limited number of designated sites helps maintain cleanliness.

Spacious campsites: Each designated site offers unique features and ample space. "Campsite 1 has great rocks right behind it, fun for the kids to play on but more exposed to winds. Campsite two is better for tent camping and has a cool sand pit. Campsite 3 is flat and great for a trailer or RV," describes Andrew J. detailing the layout options.

What you should know

Water requirements: No drinking water exists at primitive sites. "Even in April, bring plenty of water, it's easy to dehydrate here," warns Andrew J. about conditions at Withers Canyon Trailhead Campground. Visitors should plan for at least one gallon per person per day.

Road conditions: Access routes present challenges for vehicles. "Secluded area with a pretty clean bathroom. The road is a washboard for a couple miles but worth it," reports Tiffani H. regarding access to camping areas. Four-wheel drive becomes essential during wet conditions.

Limited availability: The most desirable equestrian camping spots fill quickly. "Only 3 dedicated camping spots, with a fire pit. If you go on a Friday afternoon or Saturday, you may not get a spot. FCFS," advises Serena L. about the competitive nature of site acquisition. Weekday arrivals offer better chances of securing preferred locations.

Tips for camping with families

Terrain exploration: Rock formations adjacent to campsites provide natural playgrounds. "Campsite 1 has great rocks right behind it, fun for the kids to play on but more exposed to winds," notes Andrew J. about family-friendly features at certain sites.

Weather planning: Seasonal considerations significantly impact comfort levels for children. "April weather is great, we came here for some reprieve from our mountain winter and were not disappointed," shares Andrew J. from Sportsman's RV Park & Horse Motel, noting the ideal shoulder season conditions.

Supply preparation: Facilities lack supplies typically needed by families. "Bathrooms were clean but the toilet paper isn't kept up with so make sure you bring some," warns Serena L. Families should pack essential supplies including toilet paper, extra water, sun protection, and first aid supplies.

Tips from RVers

Site selection: Different numbered sites accommodate various RV sizes and provide different amenities. "Campsite 3 is flat and great for a trailer or RV, and right by the toilet," recommends Andrew J. based on his experience with a travel trailer.

Road navigation concerns: Access roads present significant challenges for larger rigs. "This campground is NOT accessible by vehicle if the road is wet," cautions Vanessa M. RVers should check weather forecasts and road conditions before attempting access with larger rigs.

Family atmosphere: RV travelers with families find welcoming environments at established campgrounds. "We were traveling through and needed a place to crash for the night so we decided to stop in for the night... Was a great family friendly environment and pet friendly," reports Fred G. about his overnight stay during cross-country travel.
