The Cache Creek Dispersed Camping area is located on the side of Quail Mountain in a grove of aspens. If you are looking for peace it is a great place to camp.
To reach this area from highway 24 you must travel across land owned by the Bureau of Land Management. I suggest entering from the south if you are pulling a trailer.
This area is wide open with a two lane gravel road. At the exit of 24 the road will be narrow up a hillside, if at the bottom it looks intimidating but is it is a short section only. Those coming from the top can see the entrance and should give way to anyone headed up.
The road widens just after this section and is well maintained. No special clearance is needed and the hill did not require 4x4 for our truck to make it.
Continue across the BLM land to the GPS coordinates. You will enter an aspen forest as the road decreases to a single lane and an incline. The road in this area is washboard with some potholes. There are no pulloffs in this section so be aware. At the top of the incline the trees will open up to the camping area.
There are three main sections here. The first is a large pull through area immediately to the left will accommodate are large group or three large rigs. On the immediate right is a section of smaller independent sites that could accommodate 30 foot travel trailers or Class Cs. Finally a bit further up is a side road for the Colorado Trail. Off this road are a few more sites that would fit smaller travel trailers or Class Cs. There is a neat site to the far back of this area that is on top of a rise.
I do not recommend going past the road for the Colorado Trail without scouting as it is a narrow one lane road with multiple switchbacks past that point.
The sites were mostly shaded with the large site to the left and the site on the rise being the best chance for solar. The sites were level.
The area received 1 bar of Verizon 4G with 2 megabit download and 1 megabit upload.
