Above San Juan river

Road entrance only with high clearance vehicles- for our expedition truck the road further down was narrow and very rocky but doable. At the end there is space to turn and a level place to park. Nice view

Beautiful and quiet

We stayed 2 nights. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The views are amazing. No shade available so bring your own or camp in cooler months. We have a 24 ft. C-class RV and plenty of sites to pick from. Level ground. Site are a good distance apart and we saw one other camp far from us. No problem with the road. No hook ups but fire rings. No place to dump trash but it was very clean. Pack in pack out.

Amazing place for peace and quiet

We could stay here for two nights on our own, probably because the entrance is so rocky that is quite dissuasive for RV or buses. The road after that is quick and easy, amazing views on the river, beautiful starry nights up there

Great views. Nice and flat.

A little difficult to find the turn off when arriving at night but a fun bumpy road down to the bluff. Beautiful river view when you awake in the morning. Absolutely no facilities but if you’re equipped, this is a great spot. And free. Last week in April - weather was perfect and almost zero bugs. 4500ft elevation
