My family and I live in Colorado and want to go camping. I remember camping when I was little; it was so peaceful, serene and most of all, secluded. Does anything like this exist anymore? We want to go somewhere where there are no RV's (that's not real camping!) and its tent only camping. We also want somewhere where there will be some privacy, not where you can see everyone and their tents. However, we don't want to have to pack it in too far as we will be taking our little ones (toddler age) along on this trip. We also don't want to drive too far, maybe 2 or 3 hours at most. Are we just asking too much? What happenned to the Wild, Wild West and roughing it? Please help!
Answer
you can tent camp anywhere you want in a National Forest and Colorado has many to choose from...but since you don't want to hike very far then you risk the chance of being around others...find the closest forest below

My wife and I have about 4 days with out the kids and want to go out and finally experience Colorado. We have lived here for 4 years and we hardlyh ever go to the mountains. We want to do some fishing and some easy to moderate hiking. Caming in a KOA is out of the question (that's not really camping) but a mountain campground would be ok. If we need to hike in that would be fine too.. Thanks for any suggestions.

Maroon Bells near Aspen is my absolute favorite spot for mountain scenery in Colorado. You can camp nearby at the Silver Queen, Silver Bell or Silver Bar campgrounds (Silver Queen is the best). The hiking is exquisite in the summer - you will not believe all the wildflowers! I believe you can fish in the Roaring Fork River with the appropriate license. A great way to get there would be to drive over Independence Pass (Hwy 82 from the east). You can also check out Aspen for a nice meal or to spot a celebrity. I also recommend the Woody Creek Tavern not far away for a decent meal and a drink in honor of the late Dr. Hunter S. Thompson! If you really want to experience the outdoors in Colorado, this is the place. Have a GREAT time!
