Trout Creek Dispersed Camping

1 ReviewAdd Review

A small dispersed camping area accommodates only 3-4 setups positioned at a busy road junction within private property boundaries. The US Forest Service manages this site along Trout Creek, providing basic toilet facilities for campers. Traffic passes frequently due to the Y-split road location, creating regular vehicle noise throughout the day.

The creek runs nearby, though the limited space and road activity may not suit those seeking solitude. Campers exploring places to camp near Routt National Forest will find more spacious options at Chapman Reservoir just a few miles south. This spot works best for overnight stops when other areas are full.
