I believe that is Mavreeso.

But it could be West Dolores. They are only about a mile apart, both on the river.

It's been a couple of years. I can check my records later if you want to know for sure where that picture was taken.

There is some pretty good back country there.




This one is looking down on the Dolores River.

This is my favorite resource for NF campgrounds, and it will tell you if the campground has water or dump station. Often will also tell you about nearby dump stations.

This was our site along the Dolores River in 2012. In the San Juan NF.

"Central CO" is a huge area. A little more specificity would help.

In the Fairplay area, there is Jefferson Creek.

Soutwest of Leadville, Twin Lakes. They get busy, so you may not want them.

South of Carbondale, there is the Redstone area, and Marble. Campgrounds in both of those areas.

Look at GoogleEarth, turn on the More>Parks & Recreation>USDA Forest Service>Campsites, and >National Forest Boundaries, and you can find many campgrounds. Look at some of the pics posted near the campgrounds, and you can normally find the name of the campground.

Good luck!

Forest Camping has a lot of good info.

I like this site also. The only problem is that it does not give enough info as to whether or the site is suitable for your RV. There is a book by Colemen that has all of the NFS campgrounds listed and which ones are for tents, small trailers and RV's and the size of the pads. Also listed is dumps, water and showers along with a description of the CG and roads going to it.

My favorite source of public campgrounds.
