Oh, yes, Creede, I'd forgot about Creede:
We drove from the Telluride area to Ridgeway to Montrose, toward Gunnison & the Black Canyon of the Gunnison Nat'l Prk (but didn't go to it) on US 50. We turned off before Gunnison on CO 149 to Creede. (Born & raised near the Rio Grande River in South Texas & still live near it in New Mexico, so wanted to see it close to it's birth area). We spend a good part of a day & a night along the Rio north of Creede. If into fishing, it might be a good place to fish. Crystal clear, sparkling water rolling along, very neat area.

Nat'l Park might be something to see when in the Ridgeway area.
From Creede area we drove over to the Great Sand Dunes Nat'l Park. Lot of Sand for sure, neat too see. Nice little campground as well.
http://www.nps.gov/grsa/index.htmOne Casita Club Forum member does a lot of camping over toward the Show Low area: There are many
Forest Service Campgrounds out that way, nice ones it seems.
Seems to be a lot of
Dispersed Campsites as well.
