Great dispersed camping here and relatively unknown, I was here for 3 days and didn’t see a single person.


Little further of a drive but worth it!

Easy hike down to the lake along a river most of the way. Pretty quiet. 

Great free area

I loved it there, even though we got stuck in snow. We went there in May 3rd week and I loved it despite "bad weather". Our city car got stuck in the snow and we had to shovel our way out. However, I liked it how much into nature it was and of course the snow was beautiful. We didn't see any amenities around as such. 

Nice adventure 

Maybe we hit it at the wrong time, but many of the sites (mostly the best ones) were filled with what appeared to be homeless camps and campers. Sites were all close, and there was a nearly endless stream of vehicles driving up and down the roads (there are several fire roads of the south side of Rampart Road) looking for empty spots. I was super disappointed.

After a long day of traveling we looked for a campsite close to Colorado Springs. This place was very nice with a great view of Pikes Peak. 

Convenient and Clean 

Multiple aide roads off rampart range road leading to 6-8 sites each. Excellent view of pikes peak. A little windy and exposed but not too bad. Most of the sites were taken at noon on a Wednesday.
