"good location for cute old mountain towns! also close to Denver and other must sees in Colorado!"
"8100’ high. 7 miles off I-70 at Idaho Springs. 25 miles into outskirts of Denver. Don’t worry they have oxygen! Not kidding!!"
$18 / night
"area was plowed open to exactly the width of our trailer, so with more than three feet of snow on the ground we needed to get some exercise and do a bit of shoveling so we could back in and be able to walk"
"Late October is very unpredictable in Colorado for a camper who is primarily a tent camper."
$28 - $90 / night
"This spot is just a quick ride outside of Golden. The scenery is gorgeous with several trails to hike or mountain bike. The campsites are clean and easy to get to."
"Stunning campground nestled right outside Golden and Boulder Colorado. We couldn’t believe it…so close but you feel incredibly removed once you get there."
"Just outside of Idaho Springs, take the exit for Co Rd 275 off of I-70. It's a scenic drive up a curvy paved road for about 15 minutes."
"It is about 7 miles of dirt road, and 4 miles of very challenging (for me) driving.
Be sure to follow the sign LEFT to Chinns Lake. "
"So the Gordon Gulch dispersed camping area has around 15 numbered sites that are ok... but if you keep driving further down 233.1 you will find many more unnumbered campsites."
"Getting here is easy, only a few miles away from Nederland and I had cell service (verizon) the entire time."
"I first camped in Colorado last year with a friend and we chose this dispersed due to it being close to travel too- yet still dispersed. I’ve come back 4 other times to camp here!"

$26 / night
"Tons of forests to explore nearby. It was very busy- sign said campground full but after a drive around all the sites we found one that was open!"
"The proximity to Central City/ Black Hawk is crazy ( less than 2-3 miles) but the proximity to i70 is what makes it a hidden gem."
"There are different types of sites, including some pull-offs for campers, some sites you could drive into off the road, and some with parking on the road and a small hike down to the site."
"The site we found was tucked back away from the road giving us nice privacy. We could barely see our neighbors from our campsite, but we could hear them."
"Resources were running low on a Friday night so it was great pull off great views close to idaho springs down town , nice hiking trails as well traffic is pretty much non existent after 9pm"
"Any unpaved areas around it are not flat."
"Not only is this pretty easy to reach, but Peak to Peak highway is great to drive. Just take P to P south from Nederland and turn right on HWY 132… Campsites and trailhead are about 1/2 mile down. "
"Great (free) Forrest Service campground west of Boulder, CO near a cute little town Nederland."
GuideFavorite sites so far, the views are incredible and the spots are separate from each other.
GuideVery rough road with many washouts, but gorgeous area to be close to the gulch and ruins
TravelerThe road was a little rough for a pop up camper. More for tents
ScoutAnother beautiful stay at Sunset Point. Fantastic spot. Great beach and close to town. Thanks again to our fantastic hosts, Nadine and Mike!
ScoutCouldn’t find any designated camping spots, but if you keep driving there’re so many spots that are just pull offs. You can sleep there for a weekend. Some are big enough for 2 cars and tents. No bathroom or fire ring. Pack in pack out. Mosquitos were relentless. Views were beautiful.
TravelerIt's a beautiful park just wasn't expecting a lot of people to be here. Also wish the camp spots was further from another spot.
GuideEasy road for 2wd but incredibly busy throughout the day for day hikers. The trailhead parking fills up and everybody tries to park on the road - making for a tight squeeze in some areas. Not big-rig friendly, but perfect for pop-ups.
GuideGot a last minute weekend reservation thru recreation.gov (someone must have canceled). Stayed here to hike La Plata which was about 50 minutes away but the closer campgrounds were only FCFS and full the weekend before. Our spot (19) was level and had shade. There was one open spot left on Friday night. It was pretty quiet and the host was attentive. It is close to the highway but that didn’t affect my sleep. Would recommend.
ScoutTucked away in a small farming community is this single space RV spot, next to a shop and along a field we don’t feel like we’re at a campground at all. Easy commutes to many towns and all the stores you could want just 15 minutes away. There is no sewer connection but we managed just fine. What a nice place to relax.
