Beautiful but very exposed
Beautiful and remote, this is the place for you if you want to camp and not be bothered. The pictures make it clear that this is a very exposed area, but we definitely underestimated that. There wasn’t a tree in sight, which makes things hot and windy. The wind gusts were intense at times, and blew away our canopy within a few hours despite anchoring it down well (or so we thought). I would recommend this area for trailer camping but maybe not tent camping as one storm or strong gust of wind can push a tent to the brink. Google maps took us right to the address, but it wasn’t clear where the property lines were, and we had to drive around a bit to find a rock fire ring and a flat spot to set up. That being said, the sunset and stars were beautiful, and we didn’t see another soul the whole time we were camping. It’s about an hour from the closest town (Harstel) and about 40 min on a narrow, rocky dirt road (depending on how fast you drive - we were in a Suburu but took it slow). Definitely no cell service. It was cool to see a remote part of Colorado but I’m not sure I’d pay $50/night again.
