Shingle Creek Dispersed Camping Area

Great little spot off the interstate. You have to drive over some gravel roads, with a few bumps. Quiet stream running through. It’s really cool, cows graze around the area, we saw a few. However, there are cow patties everywhere!
If coming from the East, Google or Apple Maps will have you get off of I70 too early and it will take you 15 minutes to get here; however leaving took us less than 5 to get back on I70.

This is a great camping spot if you can get the big site (furthest up the canyon). Plenty of shade right next to the creek. You can easily get two or three large campers and still have space for multiple tents. The ground is soft for stakes. Plenty of tall grass. You fill very secluded even though the freeway is not far from the site. The cell service was really spotty for me but my friend had great service and could stream content. Both of us have Verizon.

There are two other sites. The first one you reach has tons of shade and soft ground. Easily two large campers and multiple tents can get in to it. The down side is during a moist year, there is a foot wide stream that sometimes runs right down the center of the site. This site is also a little more narrow and long.

The third site, is almost an extension of the main site. There is a fire pit but no shade. This third site was used each night we were there by random people just passing through but needed a quick nights rest.
