Accessible via an unpaved but well-maintained road off Highway 24, North Round Mountain provides dispersed camping with designated sites and fire rings throughout Pike National Forest. The main access road handles RVs and larger rigs without difficulty, though campers should drive slowly over the rocky terrain.
Multiple designated sites spread across the area behind the developed Round Mountain campground, each equipped with fire rings. Large boulders and rock formations dot the landscape, creating natural play areas and exploration opportunities. Tree cover provides some shade, while distant views of Pikes Peak appear through the forest canopy. Cell service varies by carrier, with AT&T providing stronger coverage than Verizon's 1-2 bars.
The area attracts both tent campers and RV users seeking a more primitive experience than developed campgrounds offer. ATV activity occurs in the surrounding area, particularly during summer months, which can create noise during peak seasons. "You can see Pikes peak off in the distance behind the trees," notes johny R.. No water source runs through the camping area, so visitors must bring adequate supplies.
Campers preferring full hookups and amenities can consider the nearby developed Round Mountain campground just down the road.
