Cement Creek

Perched at an elevation of 9004 feet, Cement Creek offers a rugged and authentic Rocky Mountain experience for those looking to escape into the wild. This USFS-managed site is defined by its pristine alpine setting, providing a quiet, back-to-basics atmosphere that highlights the natural beauty of the Colorado high country. Because the site operates on a first-come, first-served basis, it is an ideal destination for spontaneous travelers who appreciate the solitude of dispersed-style federal camping.

This is a primitive location with no hookups or listed amenities, making it best suited for self-sufficient adventurers, tent campers, and experienced RV travelers who are well-prepared for remote conditions. The site is open year-round, offering a unique opportunity to experience the changing seasons in the Rockies, though visitors should be mindful of the high altitude and variable mountain weather.

To secure your spot, you must arrive in person to claim your site. While payment may be possible via the Recreation.gov Scan and Pay feature, please ensure you download the app before arriving, as cellular service can be limited or unavailable in this remote canyon area. Cement Creek is a perfect choice for those who prefer quiet, off-grid camping in a breathtaking mountain environment.
