    Camping spots near the front range

    Hey hey.

    Looking to do a little camping this weekend; does anyone have any good sites? Looking for something off a 4WD road or something to get us off the beaten path. Usually we just backpack however taking friends who don't do the backpacking thing and still want to feel a bit secluded.

    Let me know what you got!

    Thanks in advance.

    Head north on peak to peak hwy from ned, take first right after mile marker 38 (CR 120 I think?) Drive around until you find a place you like.

    An hour or so... was poking around Jones Pass today (grabbing some turns) and there seems to be quite a few spots there.

    Remember, camping does not necessitate a campfire. Most counties are under a fire ban, and even if they aren't, you should probably skip the fire.

    Yup. Stage 3 fire ban down south. Clear creek and surrounding areas are at Stage 1.
