Hello All,
With the Aspens starting to turn I am starting to plan an upcoming Fall Photo trip and I'm thinking I might try my hand at the classic Crystal Mill near Marble, Colorado. I've never been there and I am wondering what the camping situation is like there? Is camping allowed at the parking area for the Mill or are there any free spots to park my truck close by on any of the access roads?

I would appreciate any information! Thanks in advance!
 
If you continue driving past the mill and through the town of Crystal there will be a short spur road off to your right (before you reach the Schofield Pass intersection) with a few nice campsites. You probably won't have any issues sleeping in your truck in the parking area for the mill, either.
