Parry Peak

Perched at an elevation of 9,428 feet in the heart of the Colorado Rocky Mountains, Parry Peak offers a rugged and authentic camping experience for those looking to escape into the wilderness. This USFS-managed site is a fantastic option for outdoor enthusiasts seeking a primitive, year-round destination. Because it operates on a first-come, first-served basis, it provides an ideal setting for spontaneous mountain adventures where you can immerse yourself in the high-altitude terrain.

The campground features a rustic, back-to-basics atmosphere, providing essential amenities including fire rings for evening gatherings and available firewood. Visitors can enjoy direct access to scenic hiking trails that showcase the natural beauty of the surrounding peaks. Please note that this is a dry camping location with no utility hookups, so campers should arrive fully prepared for self-sufficient living in a remote environment.

Parry Peak is best suited for tent campers and RV travelers who prioritize natural scenery over modern conveniences. While the site is accessible for RV camping, travelers should be mindful of the remote location and high elevation. Payment is handled on-site via the Recreation.gov Scan and Pay feature, so it is recommended to download the mobile app before arriving to ensure a smooth check-in process.
