Here mid-May."

GuideOnly free place near Durango in the winter. We called and asked the BLM & Forest Service. Easy access, lots of space. Bumpy access road and highway noise.

GuideNot much to add to the other reviews. Found a great spot with view about 4.0 miles up. The spots get way more secluded and separated as you go up the road. Could do it in a non 4wd non high clearance, but wouldn’t recommend beyond the 4.5 mark.
ScoutFine, especially when nothing else is available and you need a place to stop for a night. USFS access roads weren’t open for the season yet.

Traveler15 designated sites. Close to Hwy 160, so easy to access. Campsite access road ok, rutted abit in some places from prior mud which has since dried. highway noise at closer sites, then road turns away from highway for more solitude. Some sites large enough for bigger rigs, but sites may be curved, not level, bordering juniper trees (a natural space, not groomed big rig design. Trail (approximately 2 miles), open to bikes, e-bikes, hikers, equestrian surrounds the camp area. Verizon 2 bar, LTE. No gnats or mosquitoes in October
