Mineral Bottom Camping

This was a great and unique camping spot! Pros: Had water and tree coverage, also lots of great off roading, also not a lot of people Cons: kinda sketchy one way road to get into the canyon, wouldn't recommend bringing a camper or big rig, other than that this is a great little spot. And if you r feeling adventurous u can explore some old mines there also. There is also a back way into Canyonlands from the base if u go left.

Cotton Wood Lake #3

This was a great spot, it was hidden but there were a ton of people, they recently redid the back roads to get here and it was extremely busy (we had a rig pull up right next us at 1 am because there werent any spots). It is really pretty and close to Grand Junction. The misquote r pretty bad also, tons of spots, if there aren't a ton of people. Lots of lakes though and great fishing!

Piney Lake Dispersed

It was really pretty veiws but really busy, it was kind of hard to find a spot, and piney lake lodges were open and u couldn't bring any food or water near the lake also u had to pay $10 to use the lake with ur water craft. The 6 mile hike to the falls was fun, but we didn't make it all the way because the gates closed at 6 pm, so we had to hurry back. We couldn't find a camp on the way, but we did find some open dispersed kind of behind the lake that was open because it was a rough road. It was really pretty, tho, lots of hikes and close to Vail.

Homesteak/ Miracle Lake Camping

This was a beautiful spot! Pros: Beautiful clear lakes, lots of mountains over 14000 feet, lots of wildlife, lots of hiking trails Cons: Lots of misquote in the evening, not a lot of fish, can be busy. The trails are a ways out to get a good spot, and it can be quite populated at times. There are also tons of lakes and even a few mines if u r feeling adventurous!

Klondike Camping

My friends and I get together over here quite often. It's nice and close to the highway, but if you keep going, you can get a ways out there, and there is even some fins and an arch if you go in a few miles. It can be pretty full but, there is almost always a spot open. It also has great off roading!
