    Default Camping near Red Cone



    I am looking for a spot to camp near Red Cone, could be a campground or dispersed site, that I can fit my 35' RV and 25' trailer. Anyone have a recommendation? Only thing I have found so far is the RV park in Bailey.

    There is a network of roads with camping similar to the north end of Rampart Range road out there that connects with Bailey via Wellington Lake Road (washboards from hell). There are a lot of camping spots in there that can accommodate large setups. I don't have video of Wellington Lake road at the Bailey side, but I enter the network from Redskin Creek and make my way to it. Wellington Lake has a private campground that may have something for you too, IDK. Good luck!

    There is camping right at the southern end of Red Cone where it diverges from Webster....I think its called Handcart or Hall Valley Campground. I tent camped there when hiking up to Gibson lake and Whale Peak. Not sure how big of a rig you can get in there - driving in the access road is plenty easy (albeit a bit washboard), but as for the sites, not sure. See here on G-maps:

    Maybe Timberline camp ground off 58 about 1/2 way up Kenosha (may be some dispersed, haven't been up that road in a while), Camp ground(s) at the top of Kenosha Pass, Dispersed camping along Rock Creek Hills road just the other side of Kenosha down the road to Lost Creek Wilderness.
