Gray Copper Gulch

The name gray copper may sound a little boring but that's definitely misleading. It's a beautiful area with most of the sites being heavily wooded with tall conifers and shaking aspens. A few  have a decent view as well. 

Don't count on cell phone reception. I've camped there twice in different spots and could not get any. 

Some of the best spots are further up the road that winds through, so you might need four-wheel-drive and high clearance to reach them. Those higher up spots do require a low stream crossing. 

One of my favorite things about camping here is quick access to Gray Copper Trail, which is a beautiful trail the gets prettier the higher you go. Perhaps my only real negative is that the road eventually turns into one that is probably best just for ATVs, which means you'll get some noise from them passing by on their way to go do the challenging stuff.
