Engineer Pass Campground

Engineer Pass Campground is a dispersed camping area located along Henson Creek in the San Juan Mountains, offering spacious sites that can accommodate multiple vehicles and tents with direct creek access for water.

The site requires a high-clearance 4WD vehicle to access via the rugged Alpine Loop Backcountry Byway, with no services available and a 14-day camping limit under standard Forest Service regulations.

Campers should arrive early during peak summer months as sites are first-come, first-served, and note that cell service is unavailable in the area.
