South Central Colorado Camping

Me and some friends are going to be in the Creede, CO area later this week. My buddy has a cabin up there but we want to break off for a couple nights and do some tent camping. With national parks in stage 2 fire restrictions does anyone know of a good dispersed camp site around that area not in fire restrictions? I think Lake City area may be the best bet but didn't know if anyone has any experience. Thanks!

 

Not sure, but sounds nice. Take some pics and report back on trail conditions if possible after.

 

Camped in lake city area at mill creek camp ground. Fires still allowed inside fire ring. We had the whole camp ground to ourselves. Trails seemed to be in decent condition. We got some rain one day that made things a little more interesting but it dried up quick.

 

Kinda jealous, I'm hoping to visit up there again soon.

 

Sounds and looks nice. Thanks for the report!

 

Just hit Bill Moore lake trail last weekend outside Empire. Couldn’t reach the lake due to snow less then 1 mile from summit, but original trail is technical enough for 33’s, and high clearance routes had me on sliders twice. Good trail for late spring, early summer. Lots of dispersed camping spots up there and beautiful views.

 

Here we can see the tacoma getting a sip of water.

 

Tricky little side hill pitch there? Lol

 

Yeah. Wasnt having any traction issues in the rain until that moment. Shout out to this homie from Pagosa Springs to bail my ass out. This guy is a savage. We lost our minds when he drove down that creek bed in what was very fast moving water.

 

Beauty! Was he on 37’s?

 

40s

 

Dreams do come true. Solid axle swap I presume as well?

 

I didn't ask but I do know he had a crazy transmission swap.

Wish I was knew enough to build a rock crawling rig like that.

 

Prob the marlin crawler t case. I’ve always wanted one.

 

Anyone know if the owner is a member here? I’d like to read the build page on that!
