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.
Regardless of when you decide to visit this state you will find sites designed to accommodate campers. Most camp grounds are open all year and have activities scheduled for each season. You will find swimming pools and picnic areas available for summer months and open pits for bonfires for the coldest months. You can also reserve a cabin in some of the locations and enjoy the fireplace and warmth of multiple comforters at bed time.
There are many historic and scenic areas in this state to visit. You will find many archaeological dig sites that are open for tours along with locations where you may view dinosaur foot prints and follow the migration paths that they followed centuries ago. You will also be allowed to fossil hunt in some areas. The high desert areas offer equestrian tours that will take you to wildlife refuges and Native American ruins located there.
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.
With ample mountains, lakes and rivers available you will find no shortage of places to camp in Colorado. They boast of over thirty five hundred sites for campers to stop. Most offer views of surrounding sights like the Rocky Mountains, Mount Evans or deeply carved canyons with multiple colored spires rising to the skies. The Gunnison River boasts over ninety miles of pristine sandy beaches for visitor enjoyment.
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.
This area is almost entirely pet friendly and many sites offer doggy day care while you are off exploring the area. Having the opportunity to spend quality time with your family while vacationing in an area that welcomes families and pets may allow you and your family time to bond and become closer than you can imagine.
