Rainbow Falls

1 ReviewAdd Review

Pike National Forest's Rainbow Falls is a dispersed camping area outside Woodland Park — wait, that link isn't available. Let me write this correctly.

Pike National Forest includes Rainbow Falls, a drive-in dispersed site that sits directly alongside an active OHV and dirt bike corridor. Noise is a real factor here. Riders frequently loop through the area, and road traffic runs continuously, which makes this a poor fit for campers expecting low-activity surroundings. Alcohol is permitted on site. Those planning a visit should research OHV event schedules in advance, as activity levels likely vary by weekend. For quieter dispersed options, Rainbow Falls - Dispersed Camping sits 1.5 miles south and may see less through-traffic.

Not for camping

Its an OHV and dirtbike area and nobody has any common courtesy. They will ride loops around your camper. Right off the road with non stop traffic.
