Bureau of Land Management dispersed camping along Highway 12 includes Upper Creek Falls Trail, which provides drive-in and walk-in access to multiple camping areas. The site sits on BLM land with a gravel lot directly off the highway that accommodates larger RVs and travel trailers.
Campers can choose between the main gravel area or venture deeper into the pinyon and juniper forest for more secluded spots among the trees. The terrain includes both flat parking areas and dispersed sites with existing fire rings. Some locations offer canyon rim views for those who explore beyond the initial parking zone. Joe W. notes there are "several quiet spots in the trees" with "canyon rim views if you're lucky."
Access involves a steep initial descent from Highway 12, followed by level ground suitable for various camping setups. The area shows evidence of vehicle use with tracks from previous visitors creating circular patterns in some sections. Cell service is available, and campfires are permitted with existing fire rings present at established spots.
The location serves as a convenient overnight stop for travelers exploring places to camp around Boulder and the surrounding high desert region. Pets are welcome, and the site maintains ADA accessibility for those needing easier terrain access.
