The Buffalo Creek Recreation Area contains over 50 miles of multi-use, non-motorized trails that tie into the Colorado Trail in several places. There are numerous options available for riding or hiking. Some of the old logging roads provide two-track while connecting trails offer single track. It takes about an 1.5 hours to drive to this area from Denver. Please know and respect local area restrictions including; parking and camping in designated sites only. Developed camping is available at nearby Forest Service campgrounds including Buffalo, Green Mountain, Kelsey, and Meadows Group Campground.
This is a wonderful place for dispersed camping. There are 40 spots along Redskin Creek Rd that are signed and first come, first serve. We got there on a Saturday morning at around 9am and there were 3 or 4 of them still available. We got site 26. Each site is very large, unique, and there is plenty of forest between you and the next group. Ours had an upper parking / fire pit area and a huge area towards the back into the woods for as many tents as you'd like. There is parking for 2 or 3 cars depending on site and a fire pit at each one. It was a very nice setup.
