Platoro Dispersed camping

Fishing, hiking, biking, and OHV riding all draw campers to this dispersed area near Lake Platoro in the Rio Grande National Forest. ATV traffic passes through periodically, so expect some vehicle noise. Mix Lake sits roughly 3.5 miles northeast for those wanting a developed alternative. Access is drive-in or walk-in, and campsites outside South Fork round out the options for this stretch of southern Colorado high country.
