Rocky Mountains / Estes Park area

We stay a quick drive away from Estes. You can google these campgrounds. Dicks Campground is very nice. They have two loops, no hook-ups. Have water, wood, toilets. etc. We go to Nederland, near Boulder to get stuff if needed. You can check out all the hippies while at Nederland. Another is Brained Lake area called the Pawnee campground. The outfit that has been taking over forest service spots is doing it here, it has changed a lot. The lakes are awesome, great hiking, plenty of new camping spots here. Very beautiful at pawnee, no matter who is running the show. These two spots have great short cut access to Boulder, Nederland and Estes. My two cents.
