Description
iOverlander cannot verify if wild camping is permitted at this location. It is your responsibility to verify local laws or obtain consent before staying the night.
A wonderful 14-day camping area on the westbound side of Highway 50 adjacent to the big pull off labled " Canon City 8 miles " on Google maps.
Before you turn into this campsite, i would suggest that you park at the pull off on the Eastbound side, lock your vehicle, and walk across the highway to check the condition of the road.
Right after the big wash that goes under the highway, you will see a gate that says .. please close gate. This is BLM land, and you can camp there for 14 days 100% free.
I only suggest walking first so you can plan your approach. The road is very short but a bit unlevel. I made it with no problems in my very low clearance, 2wd van, but there was some stay to the left go to the right maneuvering to avoid a large rock .. that I actually cleared with ease.
Zooming in on Google Maps, you will see vehicles parked there. I verified that it is infact BLM land, and you can camp there by calling the blm in that region.
29 months on the road searching this beautiful country for free campsites, overnights, and things to do. The pull off area labeled 8 miles is a great free overnight, and this gated area is a great free campsite. Safe travels, and don't forget to close the gate.
* I said this place is big rig friendly. I would have taken my 30-foot motorhome in here, but if you have a larger rig or pull behind, you may want to walk over first and make sure you can get in the gate.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
Close to road so a bit noisy and no privacy. Good for night unless you go up the hill. Check the road conditions first.
