If you drive about 9 miles or so down the road you’ll come to a sign that points you towards the University (Poudre Park Road).
More of a dirt road than anything but wide for large vehicles. Semis and trucks with large trailers and campers up and down the mountain all day and night.
It’s a road that dead ends at the University, so a lot of student traffic all day.
We seen maybe one ranger patrol the whole 3 weeks we were there. You can camp here all year long. No stay limit.
No bathrooms, water or trash disposal. Nearest town besides Fort Collins is about 13 miles away.
Not quiet at all. Most camp spots are entirely too close together, so close it’s like a huge party spot. The day we left was because there was a fire ban and somewhere around 10 people showed up with chainsaws and were going to have a fire. They weren’t the nicest people and had a lot of dogs as well. No privacy.
The road was so steep that our transmission overflowed and left us stranded for a few days past what we wanted to be there for (when we took a trip into town and back).
Nowhere near water. We walked 3 miles to get to the closest creek (they call them rivers there).
Wildlife was there but not abundant because of the traffic.
Very beautiful and i would definitely give it another go if we had a more updated camper.
Absolutely zero cell service!
