Sure thing Mona
Take 285 to Jefferson. Hang a left on Tarryall Rd (CR 77)for 8 miles past the ranches and rock formations.
Hang another left at Rock Creek RD ( County Rd 39). The Pike Nat Forest starts in about 2 miles. We we around 3-4 miles in when we found this spot. There were many before and after. The main road is a bit rough at the beginning but good after that. I only traveled the side roads to the point that I knew I wouldn't take our 25ft TT farther, so you should find even more with a pop up.
I don't know the exact miles but it didn't take us 2 hours to get home including the rush hour traffic thru Denver. ( we live near DIA)
I understand that there are boondocking areas around Red Feathers and Lake John ( Walden) that would be closer to Fort Collins.
hope this Helps
