Find campsites built around your trip
Set what matters near camp: high peaks, water, fishing, hiking and biking trails, and how far you'll drive. We surface free dispersed sites and reservable campgrounds, sorted by what's actually nearby, with your rig's access shown but never used to hide a site.

Sorted by what's nearby
Find campsites by the activities you came for: 12,000-ft peaks, water you can filter, fishing, hiking, and mountain-bike trails. All within the drive time from camp you set. What's nearby decides the order, not ads.
Rig-aware access
Every site is rated for passenger car, high clearance, and 4×4 access, so you know whether you're car camping, in a van, or towing an RV or trailer to a site it can actually reach. It's a tag and a warning, never a filter that hides sites from you.
Dispersed + developed
Free dispersed camping (boondocking) for tent, car, and overland setups on National Forest and BLM land, alongside reservable developed campgrounds for RV camping and trailers. Shown together in one ranked list, never sorted by who paid for placement.
Authoritative local data
PostGIS spatial analysis of USFS, BLM, and RIDB data: seasonal windows, fire closures, water proximity, and terrain. Computed from public sources, not crowdsourced.
What is Camprtron?
Camprtron is a campsite finder and trip planner for campers who want to know what is actually near a site before they drive there.
It covers two types of camping: dispersed camping and developed campgrounds. Dispersed camping, also called boondocking, means free, off-grid camping on National Forest or BLM public land, without hookups, fees, or reservations. Developed campgrounds are reservable, fee-based sites that typically have fire rings, restrooms, and marked spaces. Camprtron shows both in one ranked list, without paid placement influencing the order.
Every search factors in what matters near camp. You set a drive time from home and choose what you care about: 12,000-foot peaks, water you can filter, fishing access, hiking trails, or mountain-bike trails. Camprtron scores and ranks every site by how close those features are to camp, not by proximity to a data warehouse office.
Rig access is rated at every site: passenger car accessible, high clearance, or 4×4-only, so you know what the road actually demands before you commit. Access is shown as a tag and a warning, never used to hide a site. Most reviewed Colorado dispersed sites require a high clearance or 4×4 vehicle; see our access-road analysis for the breakdown.
Camprtron covers seven Western states (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, New Mexico, and Arizona), expanding toward all 50. The data coverage page lists the exact site counts loaded per state.
