Awesome spot near Colorado Springs!
I’m so glad we found this spot, because it’s not an easy find online. This free campsite is about 40 minutes from Colorado Springs, which sounds kinda far, but the gorgeous views on the way up are stunning, so it makes it feel like a shorter drive! It is on a long dirt road, but you’ll be fine if it’s not calling for rain or hasn’t rained too hard recently. We found a gorgeous spot, and it seems like there are a lot of spots available as the road is very long. Open Fires are not permitted, at least right now. And our site did not have a fire ring. The sites were trashy, there was toilet paper all around. Please respect the land. People zoom down this dirt road so be cautious. The nights are cool and not buggy at all! I believe the elevation is over 7,000ft. There was a great 4mile round trip flat, easy hike walking distance from our campsite to Rampart Reservoir! Highly recommend! We walked it around 7AM- it was so quiet and the water was lovely. I would have given it 5 stars if it weren’t for the trash! Plug these coordinates in Google maps and it’ll take you there!
