We are planning a trip to the Ouray region of Colorado in early October. Normally we stay in Rocky Mt. National Park near Grand Lake, but the pine beetles have destroyed the trees in the campground we stay at so we are looking for something different.
My issue is that so far every campground we have looked at in that area closes Oct. 1st! Does anyone know of a camp ground with at least electric hookup (CPAP machine will be in use for my sister) in that area that is open past Oct.1st? Anywhere in that area is fine. We want to do some off-roading and hiking.
Open Year Round
Possible Options
Might Suggest that it could get to be a test that time of year - but who knows - Look also at Buena Vista and the Collegiate Peaks for another option. Little milder climate and still lots to see and do with Crested Butte and Salida.
IMHO this is a great time to explore just be flexible,
