Try looking up Mushroom Gulch on road 308 above
38.850145, -105.976560. Looks like a decent road with a number of places to camp. Some larger looking rigs up there on the air photo. This is off of Highway 24 dropping down off of Trout Creek Pass toward Buena Vista.
For ghost towns, make sure you check out St. Elmo and continue on up the road past Mary Murphy to Hancock. No problem with a 2WD vehicle. On the other side of Poncha Pass, there the ghost town of Bonanza. Easy access. Turn right at the sign just before Villa Grove on US 285.
