There were plenty of dispersed camping sites along the trail however you’re not allowed to camp on the first 1/3 mile bc “humans left too much trash here.” So sad :(

The trail was super super rocky. I attempted it in my 2005 crv and dented so many things on the bottom. You NEED a high clearance…

Nice tent areas overlooking the small town of Ouray. Portland Rd is 4WD high clearance although we did see low clearance drivers take chances. There is a small lot at the bottom with limited parking yiu can park and haul your stuff up the road if you find a nearby area to pitch your tent.
