Between Creede & Lake City there are at least a dozen Forest Service Roads directly off Hiway 149. They all allow dispersed camping. Some locations are flat/level just off the hiway, some are several miles back rough dirt roads, some are up steep hillsides. Just depends what you're looking for. The real issue in July will be availability. Many of these dispersed camping sites are very popular with ATV'rs and/or fishing folks and they stay full all summer, even with the 14 day limit.
PS: hiway 149 in this area is getting repaved this summer, so lots of traffic delays, noise and asphalt fumes will be present certain weeks.
