There are ~10 free dispersed camping sites along Piney River Road leading up to the resort on the lake. The sites are all drive in, but no amenities. The creek runs along the road and the sites are between the road and the creek. Piney Lake is one of the most incredibly beautiful places and you can go hike by the lake, fish, or grab lunch at the restaurant.
Downsides (depending on how you look at it) - no cell service, 30-45 min (8-11 miles) drive on the dirt/gravel roads north of Vail depending which spot you go to, quite a bit of traffic to and from the resort.
