Slate River Dispersed Camping

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Up the Slate River Road northwest of Musicians Campground, this dispersed area holds just three sites with fire rings and enough room to park larger vehicles. The road runs rough in spots, though one camper with a small sedan made it through without issue. No water or facilities are on-site, but the bathrooms at Musicians Camp are a short walk away. Sites fill up on Sunday evenings, so arriving earlier in the day gives better odds. RVs up to 30 feet can fit. Campers wanting more amenities can look into camping near Crested Butte for additional developed options in the area.

Beautiful, Quiet

This little campground has just 3 spots and is right before the Musicians camp. It has no facilities, but is an easy walk from the bathrooms at Musicians camp. Road was a little rough, but only because I have a small sedan. Still made it alright. This campground does have fire rings and the space to park bigger vehicles at each of the 3 sites. I arrived on a Sunday evening around 5pm and there was one spot left. Very quiet at night.
