Free, Hidden & Somewhat Secluded
I decided to stay here since the East Ridge Campground in Royal Gorge cost $20 a night. It is hidden and somewhat secluded, on my stay of Tuesday March 2nd, 2021 I saw less than 10 vehicles come and go. The road is loose gravel, long and winds through large cliff rock faces on both sides, which block out the sun so your daylight is limited. The drive is nice and sometimes iffy, 4WD not necessary but always recommended in Colorado. My little Toyota did just fine, there was snow in the areas which was shaded but tires did not slide. There is a bathroom near the entrance stocked with TP and sanitizer at the time I was there. There is no signal so get your communication out of the way before entering. I found no running water, had to melt snow. Pack in your stuff and pack it out!
