I live in northern Colorado and I've camped at a few of the state, Larimer county parks and a couple of RV campgrounds in Chaffee county. I also know a few RVers here who have camped a lot in state.
If you have specific questions where local knowledge would help, let me know.Last edited by jjbbrewer; 11-16-2021 at 06:33 PM.

We did a 3 week trip with much of it in Colorado in October. One place we stayed that was nice near Denver wa Bear Creek Lake Park. Its a city park in Lakewood and it is right across the street from red rock amphitheatre. The spots there have a bit more space than most of the rv parks in the area and the price is pretty reasonable. I didnt realize how close to red rock it was when i booked it. If you check the schedule for red rock and see a performance that interests you it would probably be a great combo to camp there and go to the show. The venue is fantastic (unfortunately for us there was nothing of interest at the time)
Other interesting places we boondocked on that trip were sacred white mountain (close to great sand dunes np) and madden peak road (close to mesa verde np). We liked both and the respective visits to the parks. We also stayed at a harvest host in evergreen (El Rancho Brewing) and while the parking area was nothing special the beer and food were outstanding - they also had some nice perks for harvest hosters - free beer and an appetizer if i recall (with a paid dinner of course).2020 imagine 2500rl; 2021 F250 Tremor 7.3

Ordered the East and West Mountain Directories today. Have some friends we plan to see at the start of our journey in Northern CO. Once we nail down their availability dates we'll start setting our final itinerary and making reservations over the next few weeks. Hopefully, everything won't be booked up yet.

We've traveled & camped in CO many times. I second the thoughts about reservations during the summer. But some prefer to be more "free-wheeling." Check out the national forest campgrounds. Though they generally have some reserveable sites, many are first-come-first-served. Hookups are limited, though some sites may have electric and there's generally a spigot at the campground for filling your fresh water tank. You can contact the national forest office & they can tell you about nearby sewer dumps. There are a few national forest campgrounds in the White River national forest in Summit county and water/sewer available in Frisco. We had a similar experience at Redstone. Enjoy the adventure!

I'm a native of C0 and have been both boondocking and plugging in around here alot. I pull a Momentum and we go for scenery while 4 wheeling. The San Juan mountains in south west Colorado are the only volcanic mountains in the state and in my opinion the most majestic. They are also far enough away from the cities to not get crazy crammed with people in the summertime. For plugging in go to Lake City and stay at Highlander Campground. You can rent a jeep or sxs and do the alpine loop , visit Silverton and Telluride. The Rio Grand head waters are close and beautiful. On your way to Utah you could try the other side of those hills and stay around Montrose and visit Ouray. That's the western gareway to the San Juans.
If you want to keep close to I-70 check out Red Stone national forest Campground. Close to Aspen, Marble and Glennwood Springs.
Lots of dispersed camping for RVs too, but you'll need a knowledge local for help. Try 4 mile area around Buena Vista, or Bassam Park.

Many great state parks
We are blessed to live in this wonderful state and have RV’d here for many years. We love the Colorado state parks as most have great facilities but getting a site requires advanced planning. State parks we’d recommend include Steamboat Lake, State Forrest, Golden Gate Canyon, Mueller, Cheyenne Mountain, Ridgway and Lathrop Lake. You can usually get electric and water but some even have full hookup (I.e. Ridgway). Moraine Campground in Rocky Mountain NP has basic sites but they can be hard to get. There is a dump station there. Forrest Service campgrounds we’ve enjoyed are Sage near Leadville, Redstone near Carbondale, Mountain Park near Fort Collins, and Heaton Bay near Breckinridge. During the peak season (June - September) reservations are a must especially if you want electricity. Also be aware that just because it’s summer doesn’t mean it won’t snow in higher elevations. Hope this helps and you have a wonderful time here.
