Engineer Pass Campground

Engineer Pass Campground offers dispersed camping along Henson Creek in the San Juan Mountains, with spacious sites accommodating multiple vehicles and tents near clear, fast-flowing water.

Access requires a high-clearance 4WD vehicle due to rugged, rocky terrain with steep sections; the road is typically passable July through early October before winter snows close the pass.

Sites are first-come, first-served with no services, and standard Forest Service regulations apply including a 14-day camping limit and Leave No Trace principles.
