About this place
Blue Crossing sits near the river at 6200 feet, in the Blue River Valley. It is quiet.
The camping is rustic and well off the beaten path. It makes a handy base for exploring the Blue Range Primitive Area, which people reach from the Tutt Creek Trailhead.
There are 4 campsites. Two have Adirondack shelters. Those are three-sided wooden shelters, open on the fourth side.
Trailers have to be 16 feet or shorter. You can stay 14 days.
There is a vault toilet and no drinking water.

Every distance on this page is the driving distance. A short distance can still take a long time. The road may be closed for the season, covered in snow, or washed out. Many of these roads are dirt. Plan your route before you leave home. Out here there is often no phone signal to look it up on the way.

Eagar is big enough that you’d normally expect fuel and somewhere to buy food. Nobody from here has been to check, so don’t count on it if you’re running low.

The thing we cannot get from any government record is what the drive in is actually like. If you have done it, this is the most useful thing you can leave behind. We read everything before it appears, and we print a first name with it if you give one.
Thank you. A person will read it before it goes on the page.
