Twin Lakes Dispersed2

Accessible via Elbert Road, this dispersed camping area provides two distinct sites for different group sizes. The east side accommodates two vehicles parked close together, while the west site offers considerably more space for larger groups. A reviewer notes that while 4x4 vehicles work best, standard all-wheel-drive cars like a Subaru Outback can navigate the access road.

The Mt. Elbert Trailhead sits nearby, along with access to the Continental Divide Trail. Campers can fish, hike, and bike in the surrounding national forest land. Fall visitors often time their stays to catch seasonal foliage changes. For those wanting established amenities, Twin Lakes Dispersed Camping - Site 2 West provides another option just northeast of this location.

Nice, rough road & buys

It’s nice, pretty busy and hard to find a spot. We have a van, that handled alright but definitely heard some crazy noises / scraping bottom. Did enjoy it a lot once we found a spot.

Fantastic Views- Fall colors are #1

There are multiple dispersed camping sites along Elbert Road. The Mt. Elbert Trailhead is nearby as well as the CDT. Fantastic place to camp especially during the fall Colors. There are 2 spots here. The east side is enough for two vehicles close together. West has much more space for a larger group. Recommend 4x4 if possible but have done it in the past in Subaru Outback
