There's always the Walmart parking lot in Frisco! They have allowed one-night camping in the past.
Until this year, Copper Mountain allowed dry camping in their parking lot at I-70 and CO 91. But that is now a thing of the past. You might be able to spend the night on the gravel lot south of the Wheeler Junction gas station across CO 91 from Copper.
If you are using I-76 from Nebraska to Denver, you will pass right by two of the best free camping spots in Colorado. Riverside Park is just north of the Interstate in Fort Morgan and has free electrical hookups and paved roads and camping slots, but no water or dump. The park is terrific, with a pool (with showers), ball fields, playgrounds, lots of grass, and huge cottonwood trees that shade many of the campsites. A few miles further east, Brush Municipal Campground has a dozen or so electrical hookups, water, and a dump and the first night is free.
