Our first RV trip... we decided Colorado?? Must see what???

Hi we just bought our first TT and are going full time.. Our first trip will be in June till next October then home to Houston area... We want to stay a month at each place so we can get sites cheaper.. Any suggestions as to Campsites are areas to visit .. we are in early 50's and enjoy fishing and outdoors... Thanks...
  • We go to a park at Southfork Co. Its easy to get to and a lot of activities. Probably 4-5 good fishing lakes. We stay at Fun Valley as they have a lot of things going on plus we can stay thee for about 16.00 a night. We will stay 2-3 months. They have a band and dancing, church services golf arcade, about 10 fishing ponds on the grounds. The park is kind of old but they are upgrading electric and buildings. They do not take reservations, but with about 400 rv sights they do not send people away. A good area for a lot of things to do.
  • Come spend a month at Gunnison Lakeside RV park & Cabins Blue Mesa Res.is right across the highway great views good fishing cool weather and lots to see in the area.If you have any questions PM me will be glad to help.
  • Mountain View RV Resort in Canon City is very nice and close to lots of nice places to see. You are very close to the Royal Gorge, Cripple Creek, Colorado Springs, and Manitou Springs just to name a few.
  • We have been RVing for 10 years since our retirement in 06. I just reviewed our trip journal for our first 6 week trip--we have really changed the way we RV. We still go for 3-4 months each summer but have learned to stay longer like you are planning. We really like the western slope of the Rockies in Colorado--really the Durango area that we have visited for almost 45 years. Don't forget that New Mexico--really like Santa Fe-is great in Sept and Oct. Also, Big Bend and Alpine in west Texas--another favorite. Utah is another gem and of course Az with the Grand Canyon--we are going back this summer for about 3 weeks there to include a 6 day float down the Colorado River in the Canyon. Have a great time, enjoy it all! Any questions--fire off an email or message.
