    I highly recommend the san juan mountains of southwestern Colorado. Anywhere near Durango, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride, etc.. i used to camp in Cunningham gulch just outside of Silverton, co. Just past the old one hundred mine. Beautiful country!

      Hope you figured out in advance that you have to get tickets in advance and they sell out quick. I haven't been since I was a kid and I didn't know about the tickets. We still went with the kids but didn't get to go ON any sites - only view from a distance.

    Thanks for this!!! I've been keeping track of campsites for a few years and this definitely helped fill in the gaps in the Southern part of CO, which we hope to get through this Fall on our way further SW...

      ... that we know of yet! You might poke around to see if there is National Forest or BLM in the area. Campendium supporters (if you're one, thanks!) have access to BLM/NFS overlays to help you scout. Just be sure if you head out in search of a campsite on public lands, that you don't disturb undisturbed areas! More info: www.campendium.com/camping/how-dispersed-camping-gets-shut-down/
