We are new to Colorado and used to boondocking in Arizona. Our 22 ft. Spirit is great on backroads that are dirt or gravel but the roads need to be fairly well graded. I have been researching for over...

Take 285 to Jefferson, turn left at 77 and go 8 miles to 39. Turn left there and go 2 miles and you are in the Rock creek area with lots of huge spots and great views. You can turn down 56 earlier and come in the back side but looking at the MVUM and Google earth, there is much less open for camping than on the front side.
Coming up from the Springs you would take 24 to 77 and hang a right. You will pass Tarryall Res. that has three small no fee camp grounds around it. They are small and cramped but the fishing is good. There are boondocking areas all through out the area but know that you can't get water in Jefferson.
This is very helpful! Good to know that we can approach from the south and have more room to camp. Did you know that you can't get a resident fishing license in Colorado until you have lived here 6 months? Seemed ludicrous to us, since we could get a driver's license and pay property taxes. We had our house before we moved. So we boycotted fishing this year. We have not fished since we were kids so have a lot to learn again about fishing too. Thanks for your help.
