"If you are looking for a great boondocking location that is close to great trails and breathtaking views, this just might be the place for you."
"We stayed at the Gore Creek Campground last summer 2017 on a drive from Southern California to Denver, CO. We took highway 15 through Nevada and Utah, and connected to Highway 70 in Utah to Colorado."
$27 / night
"Located on Dillon Reservoir, Prospector Campground offers a nice balance of feeling remote while being conveniently near some really neat towns."
"The Prospector Campground is a great option for those who want to go camping but still remain close to town and for those who want just a short walk to fish the shoreline of Lake Dillon."
$28 / night
"As someone who prefers wild camping, it was definitely not that, but was one of the more positive campground experiences I've had."
"Just a few miles off I-70, in Frisco, CO, is the location of Peak One Campground. This is a very clean campground, and the only one around Lake Dillon with flush toilets and sinks."
"With Minturn and Leadville not far away, obtaining additional supplies, if necessary, does not require much effort. The drive to both towns was very scenic. "
"Homestake Road is your gateway to a variety of off-road and primitive camping sites in the beautiful White River National Forest. We spent two nights here, each night at a different campsite."
$29 - $56 / night
"Heaton Bay Campground, located near Dillon Reservoir in Colorado, offers a stunning lakeside camping experience with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains."
"Bring your fishing pole, SUP, kayak, or hammock to hang out by the lake. This is my favorite campground in Colorado for the accessibility to the lake and town nearby."
"Halfmoon Campground is located at the end of Notch Mountain Rd (forest Rd 707) near Minturn, CO in White River National Forest."
"Halfmoon campground is about 30 minutes from the town of Minturn, up Tigiwon Road, and a great jump off spot to many hikes; Notch Mountain, Mount of the Holy Cross, Tuhare and Lake Constantine as well"
"You can drive or walk down a mile which leads to a trail to Lost Lake, which you can swim in. It was definitely buggy, got my fair share of mosquito bites, so I recommend bug spray."
"The campsites are decently spaced out but not the place to go if you don’t want neighbors, I chose the only single site I could find but could still hear dogs barking and music in the distance(to be fair"
"Roadside pull off areas. Mostly one lane dirt, can be tight and bumpy. Best for truck camper, small RV or tent. Don't get discouraged if the 1st spots are full just keep driving."
"While many of the campsites are quite small and located right along the roadside with limited parking, we were lucky to find a fantastic, more spacious spot."
$25 / night
"Other spots perfect for our trailer with views are : sites 11 (near toilets), 14 and 15.
The cons: There was no cell phone service for us (t-mobile) or water / electricity."
"Spent 2 quiet nights here in this roomy and quiet campground adjacent to the Colorado and Continental Divide Trail. Lots of great hiking and just 25 minutes north of Leadville."
"It is next a big creek and has some good 4x4 trails near it. I thought some of the sites were a little close to each other. There are trees between the sites, but you can see right through them."
"Gold Park is a great place to stay if you want trails and high alpine lakes at your fingertips."
RangerPulled up on this spot after many failures on the way and it was great. Just a little camping ring and great views. What more can you ask for. Only saw two other cars go further up the road, which gets a bit more treacherous (4wd recommended) but I stopped at site 8 which was perfect. Did experience a massive rain/hail storm overnight so not super ideal but I’m not one to let that take away from the spot!
RangerUnable to access sites on road as it is completely closed after the trailhead. But when it reopens, this is going to be an awesome spot. Nice and close to breck village and beautiful alpine views of the lake below. Just be careful if you are also an Apple Maps user, the directions did not put me in the right spot so be sure to use another service or directly the coordinates.
RangerBeautiful views but no road access. I hiked up to see the spot but given the fact that I only prepped to car camp the hike is a little unmanageable for car camping easy access.
GuideWorth the drive. Roads are good condition. Made it easy in my EKKO 22a.
ScoutThis is a trailhead parking lot, right off I-70. Heavy traffic noise. Not suitable for camping. Can accommodate RVs and overnight parking, so I reckon it's an adequate spot to rest up for a spell
TravelerFirst off the campsite locations for hidden wilderness roadside camp is somewhat misleading. Once you get to where # 1 is marked on the map, there are essentially spots scattered along that road all the way past wilderness camp #3. It’s not just a group of campsites at anyone location. This is one of those places where you kind of think you’re lost the entire time but then every couple minutes you’ll pass another campsite. Now please note well you might pull this off in a 2 Wheel Dr. I would seriously recommend four-wheel-drive. This is a very rocky steep Jeep trail essentially. From the paved road, we slowly drove a solid 30 minutes up this road before we picked a campsite. There are campsites ever so often both on the left and right side of the road that are marked only by a pull off area with a fire pit. If you pick the right spot, there are absolutely beautiful views, and it is very spread out and secluded. It says you need a permit, but we didn’t bother. I would recommend this to anyone who wants an adventure and not just some regular campground. Our campsite didn’t have much even ground, but we strung up hammocks so that wasn’t really an issue. There are no facilities at all to ever so you will need to pack in and pack everything out yourself .
GuideLove love love. Will stay here again. Private enough but still see people drive by and watch people wraft the river right by camp.
ScoutThis KOA is perched up in between the most beautiful outlooks. The staff is so kind and welcoming, and the amenities are well kept!
GuideA good spot to stay for a fair price, bathrooms were clean and sites well maintained with laundry available. Free coffee in the laundry room was well appreciated, if you have a larger rig just be aware that it can get a little tight.
