I wanted a place to stay on the way to Vail. Rolled in at night in my truck, easy to access. I was the only one camping during late December. Also did a snow hike up the road. A few snow mobiles come up this road, not much other traffic
TravelerBeautiful spot(s)
Little drive back through someone's land. There's some cool caves/arches you pass heading up. The first spot is beautiful. There's another really nice one farther up but it was taken. There's a bathroom as you turn the big corner up the hill... I'm guessing there's a lot of locals that know this place as they were FLYING up and down all night. We didn't go to the top but there definitely seemed to be a scene up there based on the traffic! We snagged a spot by the creek, It rained all night and the creek was milky and flowing hard by the morning. Beautiful rock formations along the way.

If you're looking for some privacy, this is the place, no reservable. It is a first come, first served. No need to pay, which means the campground may not be the cleanest, but is is still very good spots next to the creek, which make the nights very amazing with the sound of the water.
