24 foot TT can I camp at tent sites?
Hi, I'm new to this site. I have a possible option to get a great deal on an older but in great shape 24 foot TT. I don't love being close to all the trailers, it seems sort of cramped to me, as so...

Not sure about Colorado, but in California at the National Forest campgrounds, the difference between "tent campsite" and "campsite" is as mentioned above - the tent campsite has a parking pad and then a path that leads to an open area with the firepit, picnic table and tent pad. The campsite has a parking pad with the firepit, picnic table and tent pad right off to the side. So a tenter can easily camp in a campsite, but others cannot easily camp in a tent campsite. Some campsites go even farther and have a parking area for about 10 cars and then paths that lead from that area through the forest to the actual campsites - if you reserved one of those campsites, you would basically be camping in a parking lot.
Again, I'm in California so may be a bit different, but I do not find camping in national forest campgrounds in a trailer (or my small motorhome) to be any different than it was when I tent camped. Most of the folks are out for the same reason I am - to be out in the forest. There is space between sites, and with a bit of research (satelite imaging, campground maps online, etc.), it is pretty easy to find a site with a fair amount of privacy. Out here, I also find that the NF campgrounds have fewer generator users than the state parks and COE campgrounds - they're usually further away from the urban/tourist areas and the folks staying at NF campgrounds are looking to get away from that stuff not bring it with them.
