Routt National Forest manages Rabbit Ears Peak Road as a dispersed camping area near Rabbit Ears Pass, a stretch of highway known for heavy recreational traffic between Steamboat Springs and Walden. No designated sites, facilities, or water sources are present. Campers self-select flat ground along the road corridor and follow Leave No Trace and national forest dispersed camping regulations. Several other dispersed areas sit close by, including Routt NF Dispersed off FR 315.1 near Rabbit Ears Pass to the southeast and Dumont Campground to the southwest, giving self-sufficient campers multiple staging options in the same corridor. This spot works best for campers comfortable with primitive conditions and no on-site support.
