"Just past the campground is dispersed primitive camping 🏕️. All sites are well established. There was a 🔥 ban so no campfires. Good hiking and rock climbing"
"Free dispersed camping with easy dirt road access for any size RV.
No worries about RV size. All camp sites located on roads which loop back to main road."
"Need high clearance and a good off roading car to get all the way through. Also side note, turns out the road goes all the way through! Both ends go straight to a high way which is sweet."
"Stayed here on a Saturday night in June and arrived around 10pm. This site is awesome- there are many labeled camp sites and the dirt road was easy to drive down."
"Coordinates are accurate to camp location spot, it is right off the highway, giving you easy access. I recommend getting there early because minimal site locations."
"There are a lot dispersed camping sites, you just need to get there early enough. You need to find a spot with a defined access road to it and a built fire ring. Generator use is allowed."
"Easy to access (I have 4wd), and each spot is massively spacious with really cool rock formations."
"Level for the tent.. large rock lift.. great for rock walking.. temperature cool in the cave .. wildlife around.. no mosquitoes. But biting flies.."
"Just pull out onto one of the dirt roads and there are fire pits. Real dispersed camping."
"The washboard road coming off the highway is harsh but it smooths out when you get closer to camp. There are at least three camp site I saw that are all secluded by boulders and trees."
"FS 726 & 728 ARE on the Forrest Svc usage map.
We found FS728 to have a structure at the entrance from old HWY30."
"Close to Summit Rest Area (potable water March-October, flush toilets), Laramie for restocks, and the Vedauwoo Recreation Area. So much free camping here, only downsides are wind, & road noise."
"At the campground at the end of the road, there’s a picturesque little lake to admire, though not good for swimming. It’s conveniently located near the highway, yet it still maintains a secluded feel."
"If you’re going to camp & especially go to dispersed camping areas, make sure to leave no trace and pack in, pack out people!!!"
"The road to lost lake requires high clearance. It is located 30 min away from Red Feather Lakes. There are a lot of dispersed camp sites."
"Once you’re about 2 miles down the dirt road, that’s when a lot of the sites begin. All sites were very large and loved that they were very well spaced so you weren’t close to neighbors."
"As long as you steer clear from the private property you'll find a site. Some roads will turn sour and require high clearance."
"The gravel road in is in very good condition. The drive is totally beautiful especially during the fall. The road is lined with aspens and large boulders and massive rock bluffs."
GuideThere are tons of sites along the back roads. As long as you steer clear from the private property you'll find a site. Some roads will turn sour and require high clearance.
ScoutI went on Labor Day weekend, it was quite busy BUT I was still able to find a spot. Need high clearance and a good off roading car to get all the way through. Also side note, turns out the road goes all the way through! Both ends go straight to a high way which is sweet. There are many animals so make sure everything is bear proof and prepared for one to come by!
The road winds through and there are many different roads that brand off and have a bunch of sites at too
TravelerEasy to access (I have 4wd), and each spot is massively spacious with really cool rock formations. The view is gorgeous...lovely fire rings...you definitely have to bring water and everything you need--there are no facilities her--but it is wonderful camping!
LegendI have camped here multiple times and always have a great time. There are a few primitive sites here with fire pits, plenty of firewood for gathering, flat spots for a tent and fairly accessible with a high clearance vehicle. This campground is an especially good option for those wanting to avoid the summer crowds of the close by and popular campgrounds of Red Feather Lakes and Lost Lake. I often use this as a home base for exploring some of the trails in those areas. There are also lots of fun boulders in the campground area to climb around on or tuck your tent next to if needing protection on a windy night.
LegendThis is a beautiful area and well worth the visit. The gravel road in is in very good condition. The drive is totally beautiful especially during the fall. The road is lined with aspens and large boulders and massive rock bluffs. The road leads to several homes and there is quite a bit of traffic. The dispersed camping is a little over 3.4 miles in. If you follow the GPS you will be fine. All sites have rock fire rings and most sites are fairly level. All sites are in the sun which is great for solar. Verizon cell service was a major bonus. We did have several herd of cattle that would visit but the only downside were the gifts they would leave us. Just watch your step. There is a small stream that runs along the back side of the sites. Most sites were on the right side of the road. Be aware there is a lot of private property. Be courteous. Stay off. At the highway is is a post office and small grocery store and a hardware store.Â

TravelerThis is at the top (or backside) of the Kelly Flats off-road trail. It requires a high clearance vehicle and skill off-road driving to get there but it’s so worth it! It’s also accessible from the town of Rustic, but still requires a high clearance vehicle and some off-road driving.
TravelerGreat area w/ views & peace! Sites were spacious. Definitely check out your campsite before you decide on it. Ours had so much broken glass that we had to pick up the whole time and trash bags (full of gross things) scattered in the trees. If you’re going to camp & especially go to dispersed camping areas, make sure to leave no trace and pack in, pack out people!!!
TravelerCoordinates are accurate to camp location spot, it is right off the highway, giving you easy access. I recommend getting there early because minimal site locations. It was a bit windy when we went but found a grouping of trees. We also were lucky enough to see a moose walk right behind our campsite. It stopped and noticed us but eventually walked off.
