Dispersed Camping — Medicine Bow-Routt NFs and Thunder Basin NG — Red Dirt Reservoir is located in the Gore Pass area off HWY134 in the Routt National Forest. It is approximately 40 miles east of Yampa in between the towns of Yampa and Kremmling. This small area offers dispersed camping at the reservoir and rainbow trout fishing. There are no water or trash services, please pack out what you pack in. The area was burned in 2018 by the Silver Creek Fire so visitors can expect to still see a burn scar. Please be aware of snags and do not camp under dead, burned trees for your safety. Harmful cyanobacteria may be present when temperatures are warm and water levels are low. Please take caution with pets.
