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.
In addition to these things you can look forward to visiting specific areas of this state. Many offer high desert activities such as cross country skiing, equestrian trails and visits to archaeological digs. Here you will be able to follow in the footprints of dinosaurs and hike the trails they used while migrating to and from feeding zones.
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.
Some more commercial camp areas offer community kitchens for public use that include cooking utensils, dishes and complete kitchen appliance availability. Showers and laundry facilities are also provided for their guests. There are complete hookups for those who have recreational vehicles and some sites offer weekly and monthly discount rates for these customers.
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.
