Primitive Camping at Sandstone Ranch

The Board of Douglas County Commissioners is committed to practicing and promoting responsible stewardship of historic and natural resources in rural and suburban areas.

We know from our citizen surveys that Sandstone Ranch is important to you and should be well-preserved yet remain open to the public.

In 2025, Douglas County will pilot 5-10 primitive camping sites at Sandstone Ranch. As we develop this pilot, what do you want the Board to consider?

Join us for a Community Open House on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2025 from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the Larkspur Fire Station (9414 S Spruce Mountain Rd.)

What is primitive camping exactly?

Across our beautiful state, there are many different ways to camp – from traditional tent camping and RV camping to backcountry and primitive camping. Each type comes with its own set of rules and requirements based on the location. These sites will only allow primitive camping.

Primitive Camping is:

  • Undeveloped and dispersed sites
  • No plumbing, running water or utilities
  • Pack-in and pack-out

Primitive Camping is not:

  • Developed sites or tent pads
  • Running water, wastewater services or other utilities
  • Camping with cars, RVs, trailers or other motorized vehicles
