I would like for my family to go camping in colorado springs this year as our family vacation but I dont know if its too hot for a tent or would we be better off getiing a cabin.We are from Louisiana so camping during July in tents are only for the extremest becasue the humidity and heat are unbareable during the summer.

Answer
In Springs in July, yes it would be to hot in a tent.(Try Cascade, Woodland Park or Lake George all close to Springs)

Springs however is right up against the mountains, and temps less than 10 miles from town may be a lot cooler. (don't forget that temperatures can dip down pretty low at night even in July, one year on the 4th of July I was camping in Leadville and it got down to 23F after leaving Pueblo at 103F)

Good places to go tent camp in Colorado?

Me and my brother are planning a trip for August and want to know a good campsite to go camping at. We are strictly tent campers and would like to find a campsite that is more secluded close to the mountains with less RV's. We would also like to find a campsite that is pretty close to other activities such as rafting, hiking and other outdoor stuff.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Well, you could take a two - four day hike up Mt. Buffalo, and stay in the pass. My family and I did that, and it was lots of fun. There are trails, but no roads, so i highly doubt you'll find RV's up there :D.
