This is located between Silverthorne and Green Mountain Reservoir along Highway 9. It is used primarily for rafting access (take out) on the Blue River but it does have some dispersed campsites and a vault toilet.
From I-70 take Exit 205, Silverthorne/Dillon, and travel north on HWY 9 for approximately 10 miles. The area will be on your right just before the highway crosses the Blue River.
Separated pull off from the highway. No real spots but room to park any size rig. Minimal highway noise as you're tucked down a little. Can't see cars on the highway. Bathrooms but no dumpster. Level. Closed in winter. Just steps from the river. Free RV camping. Says no tent camping. Rafting company used as a meet up location. No cell coverage with Verizon
Great views, quiet, safe camping. We were very impressed with this place. Decent bathrooms. Absolutely NO cell service for Tmobile. But who needs a phone anyway.
We stopped here for a picnic lunch during the covid-19 restriction. There were no picnic tables as we had hoped, but found a couple of rocks to sit on near the river and had an enjoyable lunch. There were pit toilets, but no trash cans. So be prepared to pack out :)
Some of the best boondocking in CO. I have worked from here in my GeoPro RV a few times. You can stay for 2 weeks. Starlink works great if you avoid the trees. No cell service with any providers. Foliage here in late Sep 2023 is spectacular, some of the best I have seen in CO in decades. Room for probably a dozen campers.
Came here for a little getaway on the 4th of July. It's hard to get away from the crowds because Colorado is so populous. But we were successful doing so here! Most people were kayaking, a few were camping, but we had a few different empty sites available to choose from. We had a barbecue at a pre-made barbecue pit. It was a few feet from the creek. It was beautiful and sunny even though it was raining and thunderstorms everywhere else. There is a vault bathroom however there was no toilet paper. So make sure to bring some of your own if that is a concern of yours. I would definitely love to come back here to camp or kayak or for another little barbecue. Highly recommended if you want to get away from the crowds.
