Forest Road 365 runs west from Buena Vista into San Isabel National Forest, where dispersed sites along North Cottonwood Creek give drive-in campers access to the North Cottonwood Trailhead corridor. Sites vary in levelness. Arriving by midday on a Friday, one camper found most spots already claimed, with trailhead traffic contributing to a busy atmosphere. Hikers staging overnight trips tend to fill this area quickly on weekends, so an early arrival matters here.
