Lincoln Creek Dispersed Campground

The road is very rocky and long. My Ford escape could handle it, just had to go slow. I called the park ranger the day of to make sure it was available after another site was closed, and they were very helpful with answering my questions. (This was back in June of 2023)

Campsites are very far apart from each other so you will have a lot of seclusion. Nice metal fire rings with grates, and a bear box at each site. There is a stream that runs along the campsites.

Amazing dispersed campsite just 20 minutes down the road from Aspen. There is a river that runs through and from a few of the sites you are able to hear the water rushing which is lovely. When camping here you are very close to excellent climbing and a dozen awesome trailheads. Not sure if this is true for all but our site was very dusty/ashy so I would recommend some extra wipes for sure. Also, 4wd is highly recommended or at least a larger vehicle as the road down to the dispersed sites is very rocky.

There's a guy who reviewed and thought the paid sites were part of the dispersed camping - he missed the fork in the road where the easily accessible 2wd maintained and fee campground is. If he turned down the other fork, he'd have found the dispersed camping. The road is pretty rough, but our honda CRV handled it just fine.

And the gal who didn't see signs on 4wd recommended... might need to get their vision checked soon. But dirt roads themselves are not 4wd lol. After the paid campground it gets rough.

Nice campground with great views. Road wasn't too bad when I was there in early September.

Great place to camp! Devils punch bowl was fun to jump in! The happy gnomes welcomed us when we got there! The trees seemed to be alive, and marched down the mountains toward us! It was pretty amazing!

4wd is not required. Road was rough but very passable in 2wd. Wouldn't recommend in a car that sits low to the ground but any suv should be fine excluding extenuating circumstances.

Stayed at campsite 21 out of the 22 for a few nights. It was very spacious, enough rocks and trees to keep you hidden from the road and plenty of level ground to set up a tent.

Excellent view from our campsite. Number 7

No one was close to me

Glorious views. Limited spots so great place to get away. Multiple camp site options.

huge spots, all bordering river, quiet

Awesome place to camp.

Awesome! Mountains, Wildlife!

Beautiful! Loved it!
