As stated, the park buildings and campground close Oct 15 but the park roads are still open for touring until snow closes them down.
Just outside the park entrance is DeMotte national forest campground right on Hwy 64. It's dry camping and a lovely spot at that time of year with the aspen yellows and green pines. You'll have to check when that campground closes.
About 1/8 mile from DeMotte toward the park entrance on the same side of the highway, turn right on a very good wide gravel road and drive about 1/2 mile and you'll begin seeing lovely boondocking spots.

Find your perfect spot, turn off the key and you're home. :) Taking this gravel road on the opposite side of Hwy 64 is doable, too, but we find bigger spots on the west side. Enjoy!
