Is boondocking allowed in Colorado Springs?

While boondocking, or camping without hookups, is popular in Colorado, it is not allowed within Colorado Springs city limits. Instead, you'll have to venture outside the city to find suitable boondocking locations. Nearby public lands, such as Pike National Forest, offer dispersed camping opportunities. Additionally, you can find boondocking sites on private properties listed on websites like Hipcamp. Always make sure to follow local regulations, respect private property, and practice Leave No Trace principles while boondocking.

Hipcamp has the perfect site to match your camping style.
