Piedra Hunter Campground Access

Piedra Hunter Campground Access serves as the lower trailhead for the 11-mile Piedra River Trail, located at the end of Forest Road 622 near Chimney Rock.

This dispersed camping area provides access to one of Colorado's few free-flowing river canyons, ideal for hiking, fishing, and whitewater paddling, with a spring available for water.

Note that a Forest Service gate blocks winter access, and no cell service is available at this remote location.
