Red Table Road, White River National Forest

SUMMARY PRESENTED BY

OHV and 4WD use drives most visits to Red Table Road, a dispersed camping area in White River National Forest accessed via Forest Road 514 off the Red Table OHV Staging Area near Gypsum. The first two miles of road are narrow with no turnabouts, hemmed in by dense Manzanita and steep drop-offs, so high-clearance or off-road vehicles are necessary. No water, utilities, or posted sites exist. Campsites are informal pull-outs with crude fire rings. T-Mobile registered one to two bars at spots with open clearing. Bring all water and supplies, and expect no services on the road itself.

Amazing site.

This place was great. Lots of sites along the way up this mountain. I never saw another vehicle or person the entire time I was at my site. The only downfall is it was the worst mosquito encounter I have ever experienced in CO. Probably migrant mosquitos from Wyoming haha. It was also the first spot I went to that was stage 1 so I could have a fire in the pit.

This is a pretty incredible spot where you can get away. You will run across or have some off roaders or dirt bikers pass through, but that ceases as it gets later. Unfortunately, the creek was dry when I was there. Cool spot if you like quiet.

Vast OHV Area with Scenic Table Top Mountain Views

I ran across this gem, ripe for OHV, 4WD/AWD and some pull behind trailer use.

Red Table Road is in the White River National Forest (see Map Posting image).
Map Posting Coordinates: Lat: 39.5213888889; Long: -107.1108333333
Directions: From Cotton Wood Pass (paved road) at the Red Table OHV Staging Area (Gypsum, CO 81623) heading East, look right and down for Red Table Mountain Road (Forest Road-FR 514). From the Map Posting, the road heads up the north side of Basalt Mountain (vis-a-vis Google Maps).
This road is narrow, no turnabouts for about 2 miles (wall-to-wall Manzanita and canyon drop offs), then about 2.2-4.4 there are some areas to turn around (area is maintained for stormwater runoff).
Cellular Service: I had 1-2 bars of service on my T-Mobile at a few different spots with good clearing.
Remote: Over Labor Day Weekend there was limited vehicle pressure and people, so relatively undiscovered in 2025.
Camping: Dispersed, a few carved out, most are pull-outs, informal, no postings, crude fire rings, no water, utilities, etc.
Views: Wow, look all around and its immense.

Enjoy!
