Description

US Forest Service

San Juan National Forest

Dispersed camping is a great way to enjoy the experience of camping away from developed campgrounds. Keep in mind, there are no picnic tables, drinking water, or toilets available. Choosing sites that have already been used as camp areas is a good way to limit resource damage to one area, rather than creating new camps.

Quiet Spot Among the Trees

Easy access to flat spots. Tall trees and very quiet. There was trash that we picked up. It looked like there were some long term campers. I would camp there again.

Quite Spot in the Trees

Nice quiet area outside of Pagosa Springs. Lots of flat spaces, road is bumpy with some potholes, but not bad at all for BLM. 1-2 bars of Verizon LTE depending on where you are. We parked fairly fair up the road, no traffic.

Quiet and private camping in the woods

We had no trouble finding available spots out here on weekend nights, tons of open spaces to choose from. It rained quite a bit during the nights but never got muddy enough to get stuck anywhere. We had some surprise cow guests stop by in the morning! Lots of fun biking nearby!

Turkey Spring Dispersed

Roads in are gravel and dirt, easy for most RVs. FS 923 off of Turkey Springs rd. Has several sites with fire rings. No other accommodations. Sites are pretty level and in the forest. Quiet, peaceful and pretty. Been here a couple hours and have not seen another person. And there is two bars on Verizon.
