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!

What are the chances of seeing a mountain lion? I have seen bears and know to keep my distance(and my .44mag close) from them. But I would love to see a mt lion. How hard is it to spot one?
Answer
In my 50+ years of hiking the wilderness I have never seen a mountain lion in the wild. They are the most elusive of the predator family. Protection for bears ie pepper spray works just as well on Mt. lion or so I have been told.
The key to to being bear/mountain lion safe is to be aware and keep a clean camp. Wear bright colors so wildlife can see you coming, make noise and wear dinner bells, I mean bear warning bells keep you pepper spray in an easy to reach location and know how to use it. You camp should have all the food stuffs stored in a bear proof container 100 yds away from your tent and where you eat should be away from your tent as well clean everything before bed and make sure nothing is left out that would attract bears or mountain lion. When your out hiking look for tracks and bear or lion scat it will have bits of bright colored cloth and bells in it with the smell of pepper spray.
good luck!
