Isolated BLM Plateau Campsite off Hwy 139

The Setup: Large, extremely flat dispersed campsite at the end of a little-used BLM track branching off Colorado State Highway 139. Remote-feeling location with expansive landscape views and substantial separation from other campers.

Amenities: None.

The Highlights: Huge open camping area with panoramic views and strong solitude. Excellent for self-contained campers wanting isolation and wide-open desert plateau scenery. Minimal nighttime traffic and broad skies make it ideal for quiet overnight stays and stargazing.

Connectivity: Not specified.

Access Notes:

Access requires entering through a gate from Hwy 139 (close gate behind you)
Several right-hand veers along the route lead to the final campsite area
The initial highway exit has a steep drop-off that may challenge long-wheelbase vans or low-clearance rigs
The final access road is narrow, angled, and exposed with side drop-offs
Likely impassable when wet
Some road noise possible during daytime, though traffic is minimal overnight
The area gets very hot in late spring/summer due to complete exposure and lack of shade
Wildlife activity evident from abundant scat around the site
Binocular tip: possible to check campsite occupancy from near the gate before committing to the drive in
