We live in NW CO and are looking for lakes to spin and bait cast for trout (or any fish for that matter) that are relatively close. We love to tent camp. Ideally we would be at as a secluded, treed site as possible near the water without much of a hike in as we are older. Thank you in advance and have a great day!

Answer
Northwest Colorado is pretty vague. If you live near Craig, then Flat Top Wilderness Area is close. If you live near Kremmling, then you should go to the Eagles Nest Wilderness Area. If you are near Vail, then head for Holy Cross Wilderness Area. If you are near Carbondale, then look at Hunter-Fryingpan Wilderness Area. White River National Forest has 2.3 million acres in which to find lakes and rivers.

Looking for a good place to camp in Colorado?

I want something I can tent camp in, but I don't want to do any back-country camping.

I've been looking at some of the state parks and although they do have tent sites available they also seem to be overrun with RVs and campers. I don't mind being nearby to other tent campers, but I guess I don't want to be stuck in the middle of a bunch of RVs.

Can anyone recommend a good place they've been camping at? I would also enjoy something with a lot of hiking trails.

Answer
You can camp at Horse ranch park. Bathroom facilities only but lovely place to camp. Not far from Lake Irwin. Lots of horse campers, but they won't bother you. The trails is fantastic. Lots of hiking. This place is just nothwest of Crested Butte, Co.
