Arapaho and Roosevelt national forests dispersed camping site
Free camping (dispersed) is allowed on most national forest lands except in highly developed areas - such as trailheads, campgrounds and picnic sites - and in some of our most visited places. Be sure to check for regulations in advance and look for signs in the area to indicate if camping is allowed.
Some areas allow camping in designated sites only.
Know Before You Go
Check the weather and road closures before heading up.
Follow Leave No Trace principles. There are no facilities or trash receptacles. Pack out what you pack in.
Make sure camping is allowed. Many lands within the national forest boundary are private or otherwise owned. Check that you’re on National Forest lands: maps.
Don't stay too long. Camping is limited to 14 days within any continuous 30-day period at any location within the same 20-mile radius. See Order
Plan on building a campfire? Campfire restrictions can occur any time of year. Check for fire restrictions and if you build a campfire, know how to extinguish it.
It is a pretty littler creek, although it dries up during the winter. There are a lot of nice parks and walking trails along spring creek. You can go from the east to the west of fort Collins all the way to foothills alon spring creek trail. A must for summer bike riders!
