"We actually were able to go around on the Fraser side with Road 72 and it ran right into the other side of Vasquez. Lots of dispersed camping in the forest and next to a creek. Super peaceful."
"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."
$29 - $58 / night
"Nice sized spaces, many sites close to the water, good wildlife sittings (moose, bald eagles, bear) beautiful large lake with Colorado River headwaters, near town of Grand Lake and entrance to Rocky Mt"
"This is true wilderness camping at its best overlooking beautiful Colorado waters with the Mountains peaking down upon you is where you will find yourself camping with great amenities and water available"
"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."
"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. "
"There are many trails and roads for mountain biking and hiking. The trails leave right from the campground. St. Louis Creek runs adjacent to the campground with easy access and good trout fishing."
"Beautiful location, more remote than many of the other campgrounds near Winter Park / Fraser area. Byers Peak hike is nearby which gives great views of the valley and surrounding areas."
"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!"
"It is a light off road trail and would recommend having high vehicle clearance and 4x4. We were unable to park right next to the reservoir because it was closed off."
"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."
"You won’t be able to get to these sites without a car with four wheel drive. We drove up to some of the higher spots with an awesome view of mountains, a lake and Longmont in the distance."
"This will be one of few free camping spots around Rocky Mt. National Park. The road in begins easy but gets more difficult as you get onto National Forest Land."
"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!!"
$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."
ScoutAfter a day of worrying where we could stay thank goodness we came across clear creek getaway. We had an amazing time thanks to Rick’s hospitality! Our yellow A frame was the perfect little home with the most gorgeous view of the sunset. Conveniently located off the 70 it has bathrooms, board games, and a bbq! This was a magical stay of epic proportions and I would highly recommend it to any traveler’s.
ScoutWe’re getting ready to boondock for a bit. Instead of overnighting at a trick spot we snagged site 13 at about noon, same day. Great pricing with only about a $20 premium to dump/fill at Love’s and electric/water hookups with dump station included. Really pretty spot. We’d probably come back to stay longer! Weather was super pleasant and cool enough at night to have windows open on July 10th.
GuideWe stayed here overnight on a backpacking trip. Tons of small areas to camp a little ways off trail with plenty of water access.
ScoutThe road had a lot of damage. There were a ton of large holes. We have a campervan with a lot of ground clearance but turned around b/c it was very narrow and we didn’t want to pinstripe our van with all the overgrowth. We also came across a very large portion of the road that was washed out. I think it would be best for smaller 4WD vehicles with a lot of ground clearance.
ScoutIt’s a good spot to camp and had nice views but there are no fire signs posted on the way up and if you are planning on walking up i wouldn’t recommend this spot because the way up is very steep and it’s a challenge to get up this path on foot.
ScoutPortable dog pens are not allowed. Tethering is not allowed. We don’t like tethering and our rv is small so we travel with some wire folding dog fence so that our dogs can hop in and out of the rv when the weather is good. At this park they can only be on a 6 ft leash attached to a human. They have a dog “area” instead of a fenced dog park where they can play a little. The area for dogs is awful, I’ll include a picture.
ScoutMultiple camp spots. We came out mid week and were able to find a spot early evening
GuideStopped here between Boulder and Vail for an overnight and there was only one spot left, and it was really worth it. Absolutely stunning views and even saw a deer spots are mostly level well maintained and right off the 70
GuideWe stayed here for a night in August. Very nice and well-maintained campground. The views of the surrounding peaks were great from our site!
