"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."

"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."
"Closed off road access unfortunately till June 20. Beautiful and the road can get a little wonky but you’re gonna have to hike it up for a bit!"
"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."
"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"
"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."
"They take you off of Highway 9 and about 5 minutes you take a left and pass trail head (cant rmemeber the name) and parking lot and you continue on a pretty bumpy ride for about 10 minutes (you start hitting"
"There is a good amount of traffic heading towards the trail head but it was still quiet. Even had a moose run through our camp!"
$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."
ScoutGorgeous views up here! The drive up is super bumpy but we made it here in a class A just fine. Close to Central City/Black Hawk if you need a quick trip to the grocery store. Quiet most of the time, though there are quite a few ATVs flying past and a shooting range nearby. Campsites are relatively close together but the trees offer decent privacy. The sites are mostly level, which is to be expected when you’re parked on dirt. Love it here and will likely be back!
TravelerBeautiful area with 30 campsites, in a cool old mining area, a few of the campsites are across a creek which was probably 18” deep when I crossed but will likely lower later in the season, I’d recommend a mid-high clearance vehicle either way for the bumpy road in but did see a few cars make it with lower clearance Subaru Impreza’s and such. Overall great stay, some fun off roading trails near by and beautiful views. A bit buggy so bring bug spray but a camp fire keeps them at bay.
ScoutThere were so many mosquitoes. The spots are awkward.
GuideNice area to set up camp and fish on the Colorado River. There is a bear-proof dumpster and a portapotty (BYO TP) available. Not a lot of traffic along the highway at night, but there is a train that comes through which can be pretty loud. Roughly a dozen established dispersed sites are available here. Bring the bug spray, the mosquitoes are thick! There is zero T-Mobile cell signal here at all.
GuideThis was a nice campground situated really close to Winter Park and Fraser. The mosquitoes can get pretty bad, definitely bring some bug spray.
The sites were somewhat small, you definitely won’t be getting a larger camper in any of them. For the reserved sites you also need to go down a one lane dirt road that is moderately steep and rutted. Most of the first come first served sites are quite close to the highway and not as quiet. The sites by the river are nice and the river lulls you to sleep at night.
There is good cell coverage in the area, I had 3 bars of 5G with T-Mobile while staying in site 19.
TravelerThis spot is perfect for a quick one night camping trip. It is about an hour and a half from Denver and fairly close to Silverthorne. The road in is definitely slightly rocky but very doable. Lots of spots on the river but keep in mind it will be super buggy. Trailhead is easy to find at the end of the road and leads to a couple of sweet spots. We stopped by Boulder Lake and it was about 6.5 miles total of a hike. Loved this spot!
TravelerThe sunset was incredible. I absolutely loved my time here. The host was so sweet too.
GuideGreat for the price- easy to get in and out.
ScoutStayed by the entrance and got some good views. The road getting down was a rough but I made it in a campervan just fine. Beware of a big black bug that could sneak up on you at any moment!!!
