Looking for new spot to go in Colorado

Hey Boys and Girls
Looking for a campground that we can ride the quads and bikes from and get to or start at the trails. Been to Estes Park area, Silverton,Ouray, Telluride and Durango. Looking in the Buena Vista area or close. All the local CG's have to trailer to the trail head. Still want to ride and do the touristy stuff. Raft hike fish and of course eat.

Thanks in advance !
  • Most of the best riding trails are on the other side of Cottonwood Pass from Buena Vista, around a place called Taylor Park. There you can ride right from camp, but would need to drive back to BV or Gunnison for some of the tourist & restaurant stuff. The sites & trails around Taylor Park do get a bit crowded in mid summer & holidays.

    Another area is the Rio Grande National Forest in south central Colorado, near Creede & South Fork, Co. My summer home is in South Fork and I ride right from my garage up to 13,000 ft. I ride almost every day and it took me 3 yrs to cover all the trails in this area.
  • Not sure about the riding, but Steamboat Springs is a beautiful area.
