This free dispersed camping area sits on BLM land with rough road access leading to open terrain spots. Campers can drive or walk in to find sites that include drinking water, toilets, picnic tables, and firewood availability. The area allows campfires, pets, and alcohol while maintaining ADA accessibility.
Route 12 provides the main access, though reviewers note the drive requires attention due to road conditions. One camper found good cell service at rim-side spots just a few hundred meters from the highway. The location works well for those comfortable with basic facilities and places to camp around Boulder who want free overnight options on public land.
Description
Camping on public lands away from developed recreation facilities is referred to as dispersed camping. Most of the remainder of public lands are open to dispersed camping, as long as it does not conflict with other authorized uses or in areas posted "closed to camping," or in some way adversely affects wildlife species or natural resources. Dispersed camping is allowed on public land for a period not to exceed 14 days within a 28 consecutive day period. The 28 day period begins when a camper initially occupies a specific location on public lands. The 14 day limit may be reached either through a number of separate visits or through 14 days of continuous overnight occupation during the 28 day period. After the 14th day of occupation, the camper must move outside of a 25 mile radius of the previous location until the 29th day since the initial occupation. The purpose of this special rule is to prevent damage to sensitive resources caused by continual use of any particular areas. In addition, campers must not leave any personal property unattended for more than 10 days (12 months in Alaska).
