Spending a vacation roughing it in the woods or in any other wilderness area is an adventure that appeals to much of the American population. Some people camp out in tents while others bring trailers or have camper shells installed on their pickups. Regardless of your chosen method of habitat you can find some of this country's best camping in Colorado.
Many camp areas in this state are open year round and offer amenities designed to make your stay pleasurable regardless of time of year you choose to visit them. You will find sites that have swimming pools and picnic areas for use during the warmer months and community areas that feature fire pits and cooking areas for cooler months. Cabins are also available all year long with fire places and very comfortable living spaces.
A little research will acquaint you with the different areas of this state and the attractions each area has to offer for campers. The high dessert area can offer equestrian tours into the desert with views of the Arapaho National Forest. You might also enjoy cross country skiing in the winter months or hiking into the canyons and mountains. In other areas you can visit archaeological digs or dinosaur and fossil tours.
The rivers and the canyons created by the rivers are monuments to the power of water and expose the history of earth in the layers of soil from different eras of evolution. They also create white water rafting opportunities for more adventurous campers. Leisurely rafting cruises and fishing are also very popular activities for river areas. Favorite fish species in the rivers include pike and trout that many times approach record weight and size.
There are numerous lakes and rivers that help create areas that house the nearly four thousand camp sites in this state. The lakes will provide you with canoe rides over glassy waters and views of Mount Evans and the highest peaks of the Rocky Mountains. You will find over ninety three miles of sandy beaches on the Gunnison River banks providing wilderness camping and water sports of every nature.
Commercial camp sites offer hookups for large campers that supply water and electricity. Those who are planning an extended stay can rent the spaces for a monthly or weekly fee. There are usually retail outlets within a thirty minute drive from these sites where guests are able to hunt souvenirs, find groceries or enjoy an evening of dinner and a movie.
While touring the wild lands that have camp areas available you can schedule guided tours of cabins belonging to early American legends who lived here. Wild Bill McKinney's cabin is one site and the location of one of Quantrill's Raiders hideouts is another historic site available for touring. There are also tours of the remnants of the original Santa Fe Trail that brought settlers to the wild west for homesteading ranches and farms.
If you want to plan a vacation that is family friendly and will allow you to bring your pet along with you the camping opportunities available in this state offer the perfect answer for your situation.
