Best place to Camp in Colorado?

Devin k

My friends and I are going camping during the last week of June in Colorado. The five of us want a place to camp that has hiking and biking close by and a lake if possible. I was wondering if anyone knew of a great place that has an amazing view. The place should kinda be the cliche mountain, lake, forest scene. We do not want too formal of a campsite, just an area for tents, maybe a fire pit, we can make our own too. It would be nice if the sites were far away from each other and we could have fun and not disturb others. So if you know of a great place let me know! We will be there for 3 nights.

Devin,

I'm not sure what part of Colorado you are looking to camp in. So, here is the website that I have used when I wanted to go somewhere new in CO. You can sort your preferences and it will show you all of the ones that have them. This is the "tent site listing" only. Travel safe and have a great time! http://www.coloradodirectory.com/Tents/

Answer
First, my personal definition of "camping." To me, camping usually means a hike first. I'll only camp at a campground if I absolutely have to, I'd rather hit the backcountry. RVing is ABSOLUTELY NOT CAMPING. It's amazing that those things are actually called "campers." Exception: if you are somehow disabled from sleeping in a tent (back problems ect.)

Now then...

I like camping for several reasons. It gives me something to do with my close friends, for starters. It gives me an opprotunity to enjoy the outdoors and get closer to Earth. I love the smell of the wilderness, and the whole scene is always very peaceful. It's a way to get away from everything else and clear my mind, almost like medatation. Plus, if I'm climbing a mountain, this gives me the chance to acclimate and have a smaller climb to do the next day.

I live in Colorado and usually go camping up in the mountains near timber-line. My favorite spot is Willow Lake, which is located right at timber-line, surrounded by grass and trees, with cliffs on its East end graced by a water fall. Not suprisingly, it's a popular camping spot so I usually take to the site I found once with a friend of mine that is away from the rest of the campers usually. It's up the side of a hill with great views of the lake and the mountains, but out of view from other campers. I also have plans of camping in the Grand Canyon or Zion NP over spring break.

I've been camping with my dad, my best friend Abe, my sister Kim, and I have gone camping with relative strangers before. It hardly matters to me unless the person is just plain gross.

I haven't really played games besides card games like rummy, because I can easily find things to do in the wild. Since camping usually involves backpacking as well, I'm usually pretty tired and don't feel like running around really (unless my friend sprays me with cold water from his bottle.) But, I'm sure I could be convinced to play games if the person tried hard enough.

Climb is the usual answer, among just living in nature, and just plain ol' messing around and exploring. The ever-changing landscapes of the Rocky Mountains are pretty much enough to keep me amused, and the prospect of a mountain summit is always prodding me onwards.
