Overview of Lower Cement Creek Designated Dispersed Campsite #6

It is recommend that all vehicles greater than 35-40 ft. do not attempt to drive beyond site #9 Approx 6 miles from Hwy 135 as the road becomes very rough, narrows and requires high-clearance 4×4 vehicles

The Cement Creek Area Designated Campsites are first-come, first-served with a 14-day maximum stay and two-vehicle limit per campsite. Camp only in sites that have a post with a campsite number, metal fire ring, and parking spot.

Accessibility is not guaranteed, always scout ahead before driving down dirt roads. Learn more: Boondocking 101

The road is gravel and ok for low clearance/sedan/Prius until at least 2 miles in, near the USFS Cement Creek Campground (fee area).

There are only two areas with designated sites in the first ~2.5 miles of this road and both are TINY. They are like small trailhead parking lots and have very little room for vehicles, let alone a tent. You will be practically on top of your neighbor.

Everything was full (as far as I was willing to drive, ~3 miles in) on a Friday night in late July, but I was too tired to go anywhere else so I ended up parking in a small pulloff by the day use parking area (I am self-contained). Leaving before sunrise, a few other vans/cars had done the same elsewhere. I didn't have a problem but don't really recommend it (the USFS paid site has a camp host so you could get a window knock, who knows).

The day use area ~1.3 miles from the USFS boundary has a port a potty.

Being in a relatively narrow canyon, my InReach couldn't get a check-in message out.

This is a lovely little canyon, great stargazing, and nice babbling creek. If you can go further up the road where there are more spots or get a spot at the USFS developed campground, it'd be a great and not too far from Crested Butte. Have a backup plan though.

FR 740 is a gravel base road that is well maintained and treated for dust. It is heavily trafficked by cars, off-road vehicles and bicycles. It is a two lane road until it reaches the formal campground, from there it becomes a single lane. The valley is popular with off-roaders, mountain bikers, hikers and nature lovers.

Site 6 is close with a small amount of vegetation blocking its view and giving a bit of privacy. It is a very small site that has limited ability to turn around within. It is within some aspen tress and full shade and fairly level.

There is no cellular connection in valley.
