After 14 days, the campsite must be moved a minimum of three miles. Camping can then continue for another 14 days. Camping is restricted to 28 days in any 60-day period. A significant amount of private property is located within this area. Do not trespass. Read the kiosks in the area for rules & regulations, fire & shooting restrictions and Stay the Trail information. High clearance four wheel drive is recommended. Stay on the well-marked designated routes. Do not drive off the roadways or into any of the high alpine meadows. The Eldora side is a technical, narrow and steep route. The shelf road is just barely wide-enough for even small SUVs. Pack out what you pack in. Do not litter. Bury human waste in catholes 6-8 inches deep at least 200 feet from water. Practice Leave No Trace principles. Camp only at clearly marked campsites within 50 feet of a numbered marker. All campsites are first come, first served. Do not cut standing trees, living or dead. Check on current fire restrictions before having a campfire by contacting the Boulder County Sheriff. Campfires must be out cold to the touch when leaving the campsite for any length of time Sites 6 & 7: located off of that route across the creek up high in the thick timber. Access to those two sites is narrow, steep, and rocky.
