Twin Lakes Up Hill Dispersed

Twin Lakes Up Hill Dispersed sits on forest service land near Granite, Colorado, offering free camping with campfire privileges and pet access. This dispersed camping area requires a 4WD vehicle with moderate to high clearance due to challenging road conditions that make frequent trips in and out difficult.

Sites here tend to be small and closely spaced, creating limited privacy during busy summer periods when noise from neighboring campers carries easily between spots. Two reviewers noted the crowded conditions during peak season, though one camper found solitude when visiting in early September after the main campground closed for winter. The area provides mountain views and connects to Twin Lakes Area North just north of this location. Outhouses are available at the lake base, and campers visiting during off-season should plan for pack-in, pack-out camping since seasonal services shut down.

Amazing 👏

The best campsite we have found in a long time. We went up the weekend after Labor Day and we were the only ones at this site. You can see how this site gets very busy during the summer but early September was simply impeccable. Great views, big campsites, and you can have fires. the main camp ground was closed for the season so there wasn't any dumpsters or trashcans so definitely think about that if you do non seasonal camping.

Stunning Views, Small Sites

Loved this campsite but was extremely busy (could hear everyone at their campsites) and the sites were small and tightly packed! Definitely little to no privacy for on-site space to use the bathroom with the sites so crowded but there were outhouses at the base of the lake. Not the easiest road to get in and out from frequently. 4WD car with moderate to high clearance recommended.
