How to Camp for Free (Without Making These Rookie Mistakes)
You’re tired of the crowded campgrounds, the sound of your neighbor’s generator, and the $40-a-night fee for a slab of gravel. You want the real deal: silence, stars, and the Colorado backcountry. But going off-grid isn’t as simple as pulling off the road and pitching a tent.
What is Dispersed Camping?
Dispersed camping is camping for free on public lands (USFS or BLM) outside of a designated, paid campground.

Whatever you call it, if done correctly – you have set yourself up for a wonderful experience.
