Bootjack Dr.

A good amount of dispersed areas here. All the areas in the open meadow area closer by the road was occupied. We choose a dead end road and had the area all to ourselves. Had to back up the road about 200 feet because there was no turn around for the size of our rig (36 foot 5th wheel). But it is doable.

BOOTJACK RD

A lot of boondocking opportunities in that area. Must of the spots in the open meadow area were full. Therefore, we went with this spot up a dead end road. With the size of r rig 36 foot Solltude I had to back up the road about 200 feet. Road in was a little rough but we managed.

Perfect spot

I stayed here one night and loved it. Im a solo female traveler and felt super safe which is important to me. There are quite a few surrounding campers, but not to the point where it feels overcrowded. I had great service with Verizon. If you put “Howard springs picnic site” on your gps you can drive 8 minutes on 20E and there are vault toilets with fresh, crisp spring water. Would definitely stay again if I pass through

Great stay!

There are two bootjack dispersed entries on thedyrt, this location is the one to use! We used the coordinates for the other and it did not take us to the correct place. I’d suggest looking on satellite view for directions.

This was a nice, quiet site at which we were able to find a spot at 8pm. Would recommend!

Don’t come off season

These spots all look great, but it’s May and the snow piles on the sides of the road keep you from accessing any of the trails for camping. Unfortunately we got here late in the day and don’t have anywhere to sleep. I hope this review helps to keep people from being in the situation we’re in now :(
