British Petroleum has gas well leases in this section of the San Juan National Forest. We were expecting ugly, torn up forests and were pleasantly surprised to find beautiful, healthy trees and grassy meadows. The network of roads all lead to gas wells but the wells are mostly hidden in the trees. This is a popular area and since we arrived late in the afternoon the camping spot that we found was close to the road and dusty. The little dots along the roads on this map indicate that camping is allowed on the roads open to all vehicles.
Some spots are very nice. The first ones are large and easy to access but are also sloped and dusty so scoping out the other spots is a good idea.

Are you finding more and more RV's out camping?
ReplyDeleteYes, but the lesser known places are fine. If it's publicized anywhere that's where people go.
