I had a good time here in April for some isolated camping. There is plenty of space and decently flat ground. I didnt like the amount of trash everywhere in the woods. When i saw someone leave they left all of their trash in the fire bit. I can see thia please being a good time. I spent half the day picking up trash and a few weeks of that might clean that place up a bit. It is nice otherwise

Amazing camping and great views. Just please pack in pack out, dont leave your trash, and If you are like me, bring more trash out than you bring in! Enjoy!

Free dispersed camping. Only one spot is accessible without a high clearance vehicle

I will say it is gorgeous to wake up to mother nature! However, there are only 15 sites available so Id recommend getting there early so that you can get a spot. Also, be prepared for very rough terrain. Im talking gravel, potholes, large rocks and branches in every road. A 4x4 would be highly recommended.

All in all it’s a good spot for some dispersed camping. Don’t come here if you’ve got a low clearance car

Narrow, rocky and drit roads! Beautiful views and quite area

This is a rugged and rocky terrain in the Roosevelt National Forest with beautiful views and plentiful in wildlife. 226 is a dirt road with rocks dotting the stretch and parts where it becomes very rough and bumpy and at some points, deeper in, inaccessible, except to 4 wheel drive and private cut offs. My first 2 days i spotted a couple moose, one each day, both bulls, and got alot of video and photography. End of day 2, i was stalked by coyote, after dark, hiking a trail back to camp. Great camping experience. Worth the trip.

The road was a little rough for a passenger car but the absolute beauty of the area was well worth it. If you stay there you must head in to Nederland just a few miles away. The cutest little town ever!

Beautiful location. Abundant wildlife. Needs a group effort from all campers to pick up trash. Share the load.

It was GREAT till the weekend came. Then it seemed to be the local hangout. BUMMER!!!

You got to see the lights bears and animals and it was a very big Camp spot

Great dispersed camping. Not a lot of people but rough road.

Overall great experience. Apparently cops patrol this place every morning which is annoying... You cant go anywhere without them being there asking questions and bugging you. Otherwise great secluded area for some nice camping. You also get a cell signal here which is a nice bonus for emergencies!

Been rockin it there for 11 days in my 34 coachman. Love it. Free camping with views. Ive been picking litter up around the area as well from other campers, which is the only down side. #dontlitterasshole

At the time of my review, maintenance had just been done on the forest service roads in the area. Really enjoy this area.

We’ve camped here a couple years in a row, early in the season... which would definitely be my recommendation. It’s a popular area for transients to set up and you find some weird things there and a fair amount of trash, but if you go early enough in the season, it should be pretty clear still. It’s free and in a pretty setting. Not too high, making the early and late season camping trips not too cold.

Seemed weird that you could only camp in designated areas

Packed during the summer with transients and dirty hippies. Cant leave your stuff unattended itll get stollen. Best thing to do is wake up at 6am and empty magazines outta all of your firearms to let everyone know youre ready to party. Happy camping, hopeless dregs!

Beautiful location! Only a few people didnt clean up after themselves. Nice scenery, wildlife is around so be aware. Very peaceful.

This place was amazing I might of spent a week there. But it was one of the best weeks of my life. Cops patrol occasionally as well as locals making sure you arent ruining the area.Also the people of nederland are some of the nicest people Ive met. Beautiful town.

This place could be a gem, I stayed at site 2 in a front wheel drive van. Only issue is others not picking up and leaving garbage and toilet paper all over. When you get to a spot, grab a bag and pick up what you can and pack out. Leave it better than you found it .

Free camping but no facilities roads have been improved

Very busy but the wildlife is amazing here

Only 15 spots so get there early!

Real camping, if you need It, bring it! This is no thrills camping. But the sunrise I caught is so worth it.

Large, well marked sites with easy access.

Beautiful...is a bit busy with people comin up from Boulder...that is 30 minutes from here...Big camping spots mostly a long way from each other...saw a big moose...p e a c e...

Very quiet. Roads not always marked perfectly but easy enough to get by. Perfect views, perfect site. Friendly people and cops. Free - huge plus. Does get cold up there though.

Gorgeous place! Kind of difficult to get through and they do check regularly for people not in camping spots

Got the best winter camping there!

Drive further west if you want to camp. Limited spaces and ruined by a bunch of homeless hippies taking up camping spots. Not worth the hassle in my opinion.

Peaceful serenity with alot of cops and noisy campers drifting through with no regard to others.

Great camping spots, but beware if you do not have high clearance and good tires. The photo below is where my sedan decided we were going to stay on one of the few campsites before this hill haha. Pretty steep grades throughout. I think there may have been a vault toilet at the beginning of the two track but thats it .

The Arbys of campgrounds.

Dont know why this place is called dispersed camping. Its a free, first come first serve campground. There are only 15 spots, so Im sure it fills up fast. We arrived midday on a Saturday and it was full.

Gordon Gulch is a good place to get away for the weekend. Easy access for non 4 wheel drive vehicles.

Good spot to go. Lots of wildlife in including those that live in the woods, and hiking trails. There are 15 numbered sites but if you go past site 15 you can camp anywhere. Clean up after yourself, including your used to.

First off it was beautiful. The sites were quite large and full of trees. A big plus is they are totally free. You can stay up to two weeks. Cant beat that with a stick.

Wonderful camping area with enough space between other campers

When I stayed there there was someone having a psychotic meth break furiously screaming profanities and threats at the top of his lungs for 30 minutes at 3am, until the police came. I dont know whether it was a frequent resident but there was at least one campsite set up with a generator and it was coming from that direction. Also I found a mysterious shallow grave right next to the site I was sleeping in, amongst all the rubbish left by previous campers. People were leaving in the dead of night to get away from this incredible meth hulk before he started taking his aggression out physically. Hopefully this is a one-off, but I wouldnt be game to go back.

Great spot to get a nights sleep. Take care driving through the area very uneven.

Lovely camping and hiking with a view that takes your breath away!

Easy to get to and its quiet with the river nearby.

There where homeless people the there.Our camp site was dirty looks like some one rolled up all there camping stuff and trash and just left it.A homeless guy asked for food so we fed him and gave him a tent

Beautiful and private. You can have your space and enjoy your nieghbors if you like. Or not.

It’s a great place to get away from the city. Obviously when you are close to the city you’ll get a lot of unconscious behaviors but it is what it is. I always pickup garbage left behind by previous campers. This place would be awesome if there were a better water source nearby and a place to put garbage. However with a little traveling you can find great water (city of ward and caribou rd have fresh water to the public) and you can dump your garbage in Nederland for 2 dollars a kitchen sized bag. Happy camping!

Cool place to hike and swim

If you love waking up to the sound of gunfire, like youve been recently dropped into a side street of Kabul Afghanistan - then good news, youve found your spot! Yes the sound of not so distant gunfire will provide the adrenalin you need in the morning to make up for the coffee you forgot to pack the following night. Not to worry though - officer Joe is very friendly and helpful - although lonely - if youre lucky enough he might just stop by your camp to say hello! All in all, this was the only place we could find that night where the camping was dispersed, and as officer Joe put it not suberb camping, thank you, Joe!

Wow look like the homeless of Boulder has taken over. Trash everywhere.Took out 5 bags full of Trash

Okay, so if its camping youre looking at, this place is okay. Its busy and a lot of people come through here. So if youre like me and dont like dealing with other people while youre camping, Id find a much more secluded area.

Rustic camping, no facilities. Two weeks maximum, then Sheriff starts hassling you.

This is a fun place to camp at. Hiking, riding bikes, bringing friends for a good time.. Busy on weekends.. Plan your trip out. Nothing too crazy, but i wouldnt go in a car.

Beautiful sites all around

Fun trail

Beautiful

Great place to camp for free!

Amazing campground nicely secluded but close to others simultaneously. Very nice locals

Beautiful place with multiple trails that connect back to Switzerland trail for extended atv/bike riding and 4x4 vehicles. Multiple locations for dispersed camping.

Dont go here alone without protection. And make sure ALL of your things are in a safe secure place

Loved this place. Had a fire ban the time we went 3/25/17. But it was still worth it. If you dont mind doing some true camping without all the public toilets, running water, etc this is the place.

My favorite dispersed camping area!

Great place to go ride atvs and camp. A little tough to get to camp sites with a 27 foot rv and a 20 foot trailer though. I wish people would clean up after themselves. Its your job as a human to take care of the places you visit. Leave your legacy by NOT leaving your trash and mark on the area.

There are some crazy people out here.

This place is magnificent. Calm, serene, and a vibrant aura of bark and branch, Gordon Gulch delivers it all at the low low price of free!

I hate the hobos that live in the sites and the people that trash it are messed up

While the scenery is fantastic at this site...there is no enforcing of rules or regulations. This was one of the dirtiest and unsafe campgrounds I have ever been to. Trash everywhere, very suspicous campers at everysite, camp fires (while a fire ban is going on), loud noises, ect... This campsite looked as if undesirable people had moved in for the summer.

This place is awesome. We stayed for two nights and did a little hiking in the area. Beautiful pine forest with some rocky hills throughout. Although its dispersed camping, you are required to camp in one of the 15+ sites scattered throughout the area. Most have fire rings.Only downside was the amount of garbage left from disgraceful campers. We picked up a bunch of it around our site (#5), but there were still some bags of it left that we couldnt pack out.Totally rustic (no bathrooms, no water). We were able to get to most of the sites in my Nissan Sentra, but a four-wheel drive vehicle with more clearance would be better.

Great place for easy wheeling, lots of trails and open year round

My favorite spot is 10 for tents and 11 for an rv. Roads rough up to them but less traffic. Stayed at spot 4 to much traffic. You will fund something here but its traveled heavy sometimes.

Amazing place

Free camping..leave it how you found it!!

Beautiful nature veiws

Gunshots heard frequently during my 2 week stay. Lots of trash. Need high clearance for some access.
