Trail Creek Dispersed Camping Area offers primitive, free camping across multiple meadows in the Conejos River valley with access via a rough dirt road requiring high-clearance vehicles (4WD recommended in wet conditions).

The campground features minimal amenities—one old drop toilet and no running water—but provides scenic views of the river valley and surrounding mountains; note that the camping area is perched on a dry hill well above the river, making direct river access difficult.

Camping is limited to 14 days within a 30-day period, and visitors must practice Leave No Trace principles by packing out all trash.
