Overview of Farris Creek Designated Dispersed Campsite #4

It is recommend that all vehicles greater than 35-40 ft. do not attempt to drive beyond Tent City: Approx 6 miles from Hwy 135. Avoid Strand Hill Road and West Brush Creek Road, as they are very rough and require high-clearance 4×4 vehicles

The Bush Creek Area Designated Campsites are first-come, first-served with a 14-day maximum stay and two-vehicle limit per campsite. Camp only in sites that have a post with a campsite number, metal fire ring, and parking spot.

Accessibility is not guaranteed, always scout ahead before driving down dirt roads. Learn more: Boondocking 101

Overall Rating

The road into the Brush Creek area campsites is a two lane gravel base road that is treated for dust. It was well maintained and not washboard. It has gentle slopes and is busy during the hiking and biking season. There are multiple trailheads in the area. You will see bikes along the length of the road, and tons of prairie dogs as well. There is a working cattle ranch on the road so be aware that road blockages by trailers can occur.

Once you cross East River past the Brush Creek Trailhead you will enter the private property of Lasy F Bar Ranch. The road will curve around the valley turning north. Just past the ranch buildings there is a sharp fork to the right which climbs Strand Hill.

Follow Strand Hill Road to the first intersection and keep right again. The sites are against an aspen grove overlooking Ferris Creek about 1.3 miles from the Strand Hill Road intersection.

There is no cellular coverage in this area.
