Our Take

What makes Rampart Range Recreation Area Designated Dispersed Camping special

Rampart Range Recreation Area offers a style of camping that appeals to those who crave a little more freedom and a little less structure. Located along the Rampart Range in Colorado, this designated dispersed camping area provides 100 numbered campsites spread across a forested mountain landscape that feels expansive and wild. Unlike traditional campgrounds with assigned loops and paved pads, Rampart Range lets you settle into a numbered site that might be perched on a ridge with long views or tucked into a grove of ponderosa pines. A fee is required, but what you get in return is a camping experience that sits perfectly between the convenience of an established campground and the independence of true backcountry camping. The area is popular with off-road enthusiasts, mountain bikers, and hikers who use it as a base for exploring the network of trails and forest roads that crisscross the Rampart Range. Proximity to Colorado Springs and the Front Range makes it an accessible weekend escape, yet once you are settled into your site, the city feels wonderfully far away. Evenings bring cooler mountain air, campfire smoke drifting through the pines, and a sense of solitude that is increasingly hard to find this close to a major metro area.
