best tent camping spots in colorado image
Adventure
If I were camping out in the middle of nowhere, and set up a camp to do some gold hunting... Stayed out there for several weeks.. How could I do this without getting in trouble? I would need to set up camp near the river I am prospecting.. And I dont see anyone having the discipline to follow all those rules about keeping anything with scent in a bear protective container for a couple weeks on end.
How do you pull something like this off without getting into trouble with bears or rangers.
Answer
One of Colorado's appeals is the mineral belt through the state...and the vast majority of it is in national forests and or BLM..camping is this country's coolest asset as far as I'm concerned.
'Bear country' is a relative term...they aren't exactly politically correct in there ways and means. If you pitch camp in a bears kitchen, you'll probably have company.
Keep a clean camp..'hang' your kitchen every knight.. be overly careful with your fire - enclose it if you can.. sleep 30 or 40 yards from where you cook and eat.
..keep a couple pots or pans in your tent in case you do get a visitor in the night-loud noise is pretty effective dissuading a bear form becoming assertive or aggressive in the dark..
..rangers might spot your fire smoke, and come check you out..there is a 14 day 'stay' policy here..then you will be told that you need move 15 miles befor pitching another 'camp'..it's a good policy..comply with it.
..Smoke watchers could spot your smoke as well..there are still 'Look-Outs' maned and attended around these outter countrys forests, and EVERY sign of smoke is checked out...ether by a ranger, or chopper, or plain.
..there are maintained 'claims' scattered through out these whole mountian ranges, not that they are frequently monitored, but they are lagitimet claims.
The bears are a 'varriable'..seeing one will depend on how well you camp...the rangers are an absolute..your fire will bring them..thats is just how things work out here.

Answer
what part of the state will you be going to?
there are several great places to camp in the cortez, mancos area of the state. ( close to the four corners yet still in the san juan range) Joe moore is great for fishing and hiking and they have bathrooms without showers. and the best part is it's totally free to camp there! just a few miles from the towns of mancos and dolores.
if you like kayaking or canoeing then a camp spot in durango would be you best bet. most spots are level enough for a good sized tent no matter which area you go to. some are very low cost to free in price so you girls will have more money for snacks and drinks!
you mentioned the dirtyness of camping, yeah it can be a little bothersome but if you let that stop you you'll never be able to enjoy the outdoors. a couple of tips for keeping dirt out of the tents and sleeping bags; do not wear your shoes/ boots inside the tent take them off before you go inside. if you do get some dirt inside be sure to sweep it out as soon as you notice it.
happy camping kids!
