About this campground
Cruces Basin Th serves as a dispersed camping area at the southeastern access point to Cruces Basin Wilderness in Carson National Forest. Located at approximately 10,000 feet elevation, the area features mixed conifer and aspen forests with stunning views. The trailhead marks the beginning of trails into one of the Carson's least-visited wilderness areas, situated in a unique bowl formation rather than along mountain peaks. Access to this remote area requires driving approximately 15 miles on dirt forest roads from the nearest paved highway. The roads receive little maintenance and are not plowed in winter. The final section approaching the trailhead may require higher clearance vehicles.

Multiple dispersed camping sites are available throughout the area, not just at the trailhead itself, providing flexibility for campers seeking solitude in this expansive high-country landscape. The surrounding area offers excellent opportunities for hiking, hunting, and exploring pristine backcountry. Aspens provide brilliant fall color, and the wilderness beyond features meadows, streams, and dramatic terrain. This is a true backcountry experience requiring self-sufficiency and preparedness for primitive conditions.
