About This Location

Experience high-altitude camping at Rivers End, a free, first-come, first-served USFS site tucked away in the beautiful Colorado Rocky Mountains.

Perched at an impressive elevation of 9,363 feet, Rivers End offers a true off-grid mountain escape within the Colorado Rockies. This USFS-managed site is ideal for campers seeking a rugged, authentic wilderness experience far from the bustle of modern life. Because the location is primitive and lacks established amenities or hookups, it is best suited for experienced, self-sufficient travelers who are prepared to handle high-altitude conditions year-round.

Operating strictly on a first-come, first-served basis, this site requires visitors to arrive in person to claim their spot. While there are no traditional check-in facilities, the campground utilizes the Recreation.gov Scan and Pay feature, allowing guests to pay for their stay via a QR code. It is highly recommended to download the mobile app before your arrival, as the remote nature of the terrain often results in limited or no cellular connectivity.

Whether you are arriving by RV or prefer a tent setup, the setting provides a quiet, natural backdrop for those looking to disconnect. Please come fully prepared with all necessary supplies, water, and gear to ensure a safe and comfortable stay in this high-mountain environment.
