Question for the Fremont (and maybe Teller) County membership...

Does the Shelf Road from Canon City to Cripple Creek and the nearby camp grounds tend to be good to go, or are they frequented by undesirables?

We may do some camping down there this weekend, and it would be good to know ahead of time if the area is "special" like Lower Gold Camp (near Colorado Springs) and West Magnolia (near Nederland).

Just to be clear, I am referring to Road 9, and NOT Road 67 (Phantom Canyon).

Thanks!
