The Best Camping Near Dinosaur, Colorado

Really nice and quiet, we were all alone. Not sure how many spots are there. We found a spot that forks left from Harper's Corner road, and there was only one spot, but it was free. 

Quiet, nice view

This location as more camping spots available down CR16 past the GPS waypoint. The site at the waypoint has 2-3 more sites tucked back down the grassy double track you can see from the initial pull-off. Great views from any site, if windy. 

Scenic Views 

Off CR16 easy to find. I just saw a couple of spots at the gps point. The view is beautiful and it’s quiet but windy. We’re the only ones here.

Beautiful view and quiet spot

Just randomly driving thru Colorado and run into Dinasaur and a peaceful off grid place to camp. No one around. No one else on the planet. Great place to stop.

Peaceful amd convenient!

I drove further down the road slightly over the utah border and it was silent and serene with beautiful views. All the spots available on this road were gorgeous.

Quiet and clean

Smooth dirt road leading to short turn off loop with a fire ring. Peaceful low-mid T-Mobile.

Top of a hill, sagebrush, no shade

No shade, rocky, need a 4WD for some of the uphills. 10 miles to the sites on a dirt road if you come from the northwest. No bugs at all when I went!

Good for an overnight on roadtrip

Really only two spots if you maintain space, but they have fabulous southerly views, level sites with established fire pits, and although just off CR16, it was quiet
