Colorado B.S. Thread

at least not anywhere near Denver! lol. thinking of heading down near Cinnamon pass

 

it's ridiculous packed here in the North. Around that time a few areas have opened up around the Deadman area and it turns into a full on RV park everywhere you go.
I still go up and wheel, fish, etc, but camping...it's quieter in town, less generators and fireworks going off.

 

See I love both types of camping so when I take out the toy hauler I go to places where tent campers do not go. And vice Versa when I want to tent camp I don't go to areas easily accessible to the large campers.

 

that's what I'm gonna enjoy about the RTT... go much further than most "tent campers" in their soccer mom SUV's but not as far as the back packers. and WAY THE HELL AWAY from the RV's lol

 

I'd say W or SW?! Maybe. Arapahoe area or like I said Cuchara.
Needs to be in Colorado within 3ish hours of Denver because I'm meeting up with family and we are looking for something in that area.

I know it's a broad area to ask about but I was hoping you guys knew of some gems to check out especially for dispersed camping. Would love to by a nice creek or river for some fly fishing.

 

So finding a place will not be too bad?

 

How about Breckenridge area or San Isabel mountain area?

 

That is a cute, idea. That pass will so be closed. haha

That being said, I need to do sunshine and redcloud...

Anything in the high country may still be inaccessible at that point. All depends on the last snow.

Cuchara will probably be your best bet. Collegiate will be full, as will anything in arapahoe NF or roosevelt NF. Deckers/tarryall may have room, but it will be a party. I can tell you now there wont be much for established campground camping either way.

 

You'll prolly find a place to camp.

 

LOL I dont even try camping june or july. Too busy and school is out. August-May is the best season haha

 

Wal-Mart allows camping in their lots.

 

I'm not familiar with anything around that area, that's not to say there isn't...I just don't know. Maybe check this website out and you should find plenty of info on dispersed camping, just move the map around to area's you think you might like to go

No because everyone from out of state floods in those weekends. You'll find something for sure. But most likely be around other people.

I took my toy hauler up to tarryall last year I took a spot off the main road that would hold all the people coming. This Honda CR-V sets up shop right next to my generator. I was like WTF!? I jumped on my atv and took them another few miles into a drive in tent spot that I love to use. The guy gave me a beer and said thanks. I was like you would have had a terrible weekend with your tent next to my generator.

 

Was hoping to get away from established campgrounds. That's why I was hoping my chances were better.

 

Thanks for your help guys. When I pin down a more precise area, I'll ask for some more ideas.

 

Nice!

I bet the transfer skid plate's presence was the final mojo to get your beast fired up.

Am I right?

 

Oh no! It may sound like people are being dicks but it's the truth. Those pre holiday weekends, holiday weekends, and after the holiday weekends are crazy in our state.

 

The weekend after the weekend of the weekend of the 4th is the prime time to camp. Everybody's back to work and the higher trails have started to open up. Pretty much have the forest to yourself.

 

What is it? A radiator?

 

I'll have to have my brother get to work in scouting some areas. We will have to keep in mind that some places won't be open yet.
Yea, it just worked out that this was the weekend that we all had the chance to meet up. I will look in the Cuchara area or in the southern areas of the state so that I know more spots will be open.
